OK, That makes sense. Cat had them on the Fuel filter housing on the older machines. This HD5 belongs to a buddy that is about 800 miles south of me so I could not just stop over and look. Thanks, Dandy Dave!

The original gauge has a diaphragm on it and also a snubbed restriction so gauge will not show pulses from the gear pump and flow to injector pulses .
