    It is ussually hooked to the secondary filter inlet by the primer pump, if you plan to run it all the time you need either the over priced Cat Dampner or a needle valve to control the pulsations ( i prefer the needle valve )

    You can take a pipe cleaner, fold it in half and put it in the fuel line behind the gauge. The gauge won't pulse and cost only a few cents.

    Nope
    But it did take a while to get used to the digital desplay and what the correct reference point was for my truck was (84-87 psi)
