Default Mexican fuel pressure guage.
A buddy of mine I work with made this, works like a champ and doesnt cost anywere near a guage and sending unit.

Must have for FI tuners, takes less than 2 minutes to put it on another vehicle!

how did you tap into that line? is there a bleed fitting there or something? I wanted to check the pressure on my buddys truck but didnt want to buy the $60 tester kit.

Its a schrader (sp?) valve. Just unscrew the cap and hookup a test gauge.
