Default Stock rail pressure gauge question..

The car is up in miles and I want to keep an eye on my fuel pressure and use a gauge as a way of diagnosing my F.P. if my pump decides to take a crap on me.

Ive searched and ive found some "rediculas"ly high priced ones with adapters... is there any sponsors that sell these?

Just out of curiosity, what is the gauge on the rail going to do for you? If you have a fuel pressure issue, it'll be on a WOT run, not while you've got your head under the hood.

I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just would recommend sticking a gauge in the car and a sending unit on the fuel rail.

I agree, if your looking for fuel pressure or volume issues you need to see it or datalog it. The gauge under the hood will let you readily check idle fuel pressure.
