The only hold up to installing a Fuel Pressure Gauge is that the needle on an undampened Gauge vibrates around so much that you cannot tell what pressure it is reading.
I have only read of the below done for hooking up a test Gauge.
Somewhere there is a thread where one of the Members made a PVC aparatus that dampened the pressure. Not unlike they use in Plumbing to stop Water Hammering. It is a Vertical Pipe with a quanity of Air Trapped at the top.
The other way is to use a Liquid Filled Gauge.
I made the adapter (to connect a test Gauge) in the Pic from one of the Banjo Bolts on the Filter.
But, even with a Liquid filled Gauge the needle danced a little. I believe it would work better if there was a Valve that I could partially closed or a restriction in the fitting to help dampen out the pulses of fuel.
It is another one of those projects I have never done anything more with.
