Handheld fuel pressure gauge

Hey guys does anyone know where I cold pick up a fuel pressure gauge for random pressure checks, I'm not looking for the permanent mount type, just a hand-held one or is there a mechanical one that I could permanently mount in the engine bay?

Could it be said "an oil guage can also be a fuel guage"? Sometimes?? Maybe? If so,there is considerable cost savings to buy an oil guage.

yes you can use an oil pressure gauge as a fuel gauge too. so long as it scales to the right numbers and for the most part it would. you can even use a trans pressure gauge. basicly any gauge that can be used with automotive liquids.
