I have successfully used Turbo Boost gauges as fuel pressure gauges, although if the fittings are not tight, the fuel can travel up the hose and cause needle jitter.
To allow it to monitor the pressure of both fuels (I use separate fuel pumps and filters for my start fuel and veggie), I installed it at the IP inlet.
Dedicated fuel pressure gauges are available on eBay and should be suitable for this application.
