Last question about fuel pressure gauge

Later this week my fuel pressure adapter line comes in from "Sinister". So i remove the test plug, suck some of the fuel out, install line in filter and to sender. I think the line has a bleeder on it but am i gonna have to worry about air in the line,, or just install, turn the key on a few times (dont start), and maybe bleed?? thanks.

You don't need to suck any fuel out. Just cycle the key a few times before starting it.

You're going to want to take out the fuel filter and somehow remove as much of the fuel from the fuel bowl as possible. Otherwise all of that fuel will come out the test port.

I used paper towels, carefully folded and wrapped around the stand pipe, to soak up the fuel. It only took a couple dozen or so.

I don't believe you have to take out the filter and suck out the fuel. I just removed the plug when I did mine and no fuel comes out. You don't have to worry about bleeding it.
