Racor sells a vacuum gauge which can be mounted in place of the T-handle on the
top plate of some of their filter housings.
If anyone adds a gauge there, be VERY careful not to tighten it (or the T
handle for that matter) too much. Racor warns about this as well.
It took several trips by my diesel mechanic to realize that overtightening the
T or gauge can deform the top plate temporarily or permanently which will allow
air to be sucked in to the Racor under normal fuel system vacuum via the O-ring
at the top plate seal.
In my case the deformation was only noticed when he compared my very slightly
deformed plate to a new one—it was not noticeable to the naked eye.
