    Hey guys, I believe I have a low fuel pressure issue with my engine and I need to know where I can put a fitting in for a temporary gauge to check it. I called the local Cat house n they were of no help. I need to roll later today n so need to get this diagnosed quickly. Thanks!!

    It's been a while, but is there not a plug you can remove at the filter base where the word "bleed" is casted into the housing? Should be able to measure pressure here. I believe it is a straight cut oring fitting, so you may have to visit a hydraulic shop to get the proper test fitting to screw a gauge into.
