I've watched this thread, including the debate (!) about the need or even the wisdom of monitoring fuel pressure. I'm on record for favoring both the near aircraft approach of monitoring everything important. The definition of important is left to the beholder, but I find good quantitative and qualitative data to be useful for both diagnostics and performance tuning. I use electroluminescent 270 degree sweep digital gauges from Speedhut.com because of their precision, custom gauge faces and the ability to set trigger warning lights that respond to max and min settings on each of the gauges. The combo of pleasantly moving gauges softly moving in the night together with 1200 watts of classical music can make the trek across west Texas bearable. That said, the original poster had correctly been searching for an electronic fuel pressure gauge with sender that could be mounted close to the source. For many a year, I have mounted a sender rated for gasoline at the test port of the fuel injection rail on my 1.8L I-4 Digifant conversion. Autometer makes the most complete line of such units.
