Update:

I went out to the garage and tried it again. It looks like the HF kit does have an adapter for the MB fuel injectors. I screwed in the adapter, made sure everything was tight but the adapter leaked and I couldn't get a reading. So, I tried using the glow plug holes. I was able to get readings on cylinders 1 and 2. I had to use a different adapter for 3 and 4 because of the IP and that adapter leaked and I couldn't get a reading.

I guess quality control at HF isn't that good and I've got a bad tester. I'm sure other people have them and have had better luck than me but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Anyway, the readings I got on cylinders 1 and 2 were 270 psi and 320 psi, respectively. I'm not happy about the first reading but I guess the engine still has some life left it it. I'm thinking cylinders 3 and 4 will read like cylinder 2 because they had the same reading as number 2 yesterday when I was using that other fuel injection adapter.
