fuel filter is in the fuel tank and is a life long part, no need to change.

The fitting should be m12x1.25 so you can get an adaptor for oil pressure sender that will change that to the 1/8bsp fitting your pressure sensor probaly is.

right well ive sorted one part the vacuum hose but can anyone tell me the size of the is200 fuel line as im thinking of mounting the gauge slightly further away as i think i wont be able to mount it near the end of the fuel rail

so been looking at braided fuel lines on ebay but not sure on size

also can someone point out where i should cut into the line to mount this gauge
