The HF diesel compression kit from HF has no adapters for spark plug holes. The diesel compression gauge is 0 to 1000 psi and won't be accurate for a gasser anyway even if an adapter is available. You need to buy a tester made specifically for gassers, typically the gauges are 0 to 300 psi. In short, one cannot be used for the other.
