I have an auxillary electric fuel pump that pulls from the WVO tank and pushes it through the WVO filter. The stock lift pump then pulls the WVO from the filter and pushes it to the IP.

My goal is to be able to determine when my WVO filter is clogging. Taking all this into consideration, where do you recommend putting the gauge, and would it be pressure or vacuum?

Thanks!
