some simple logic that says: the fuel pressure is dropping.... BEFORE it drops to a really unsafe level.
im thinking a fuel pressure sensor, a A/D converter, a PIC and a warning LED might work.... hmmmm

that would be the most basic safety system possible... but effective.. it wont tell you whats wrong, but you'll know to let out of it.
id go one step further with that and have it trigger a self energizing relay... so that a momentary drop below that amount, would make the light stay on constantly until you reset it.
although you'll then have to add some kind of arming or self-reset to it then.. otherwise it may come on during startup.
