Hi Mark,

Thanks for the outstanding data!

I have a new regulator to install and have previously installed a vacuum
gauge, probably not as accurate as your's.  I was planning on installing a
VDO pressure sensor in the gas line and using David Beierl's idea and wire
it to my oil pressure gauge through a switch.

Do you have any idea where to get a schraeder valve fitting to measure the
fuel pressure without having to open the system?  I was thinking about going
to the junkyard and clipping one out.
