There is a sale on pressure gauges at MSC. This is a glycerin filled gauge zero to sixty LBS. I use something similar in my car. You will need to make up fittings and some hose but at 20 bucks, this makes for a nice addition to the engine compartment. I leave mine in all the time. It is nice to look and see that you have fuel pressure at a glance. I had a relay board problem once. I could immediately see the problem was fuel. This saved a lit of time in trouble shooting.
60 lbs pressure gauge |

If my fuel system is not the problem, pressure gauze still reads running pressure. Mounted mine next to cold-start where it's easy to see soon as lid is opened. |

I put the gage in the clock opening. |
