I'm assuming that is actually for telling someone (mechanic) if the fuel filter is plugged...one on the inside and one on the outside of the filter media?? steved

Fuel pressue is a very important number for determining the condition of the lift pump (and overfolw valve on 12v motors) and overall condition of the fuel system. Steve, if I remember correctly you have a 24v. They are pretty notorius for having lift pump issues so you may want to check the fuel pressure, and possibly install a permanent FP gauge to monitor things.
