Need advice prior to shopping for fuel presure gauge

Hello All
I Need advice prior to shopping for fuel presure gauge for my 1996 F-150 4.9L. I hate to start tearing apart the dual tanks without at least checking the presure at the fuel rail port. thanks.

I caught mine on sale at Harbor Freight tools for 9.99 or 14.99. If you dont have a local store and you can wait a couple days you can order one online.
They kinda specialize in cheap stuff but I have found occasional use items like the gauge to be great buys. They also have a wal-mart type no questions exchange policy. For what it is worth they have a lifetime warranty on most everything.

I don't work for them or anything I just happen to frequent my local store and love buing two or three buggies full of tools for 100 bucks.

Best,
Justin

I got one at auto zone for $40 but wish that I had bought a remote type that allows you to have the guage in the cab so that you can see what the pressure is while you're driving. That way you really see what's going on.
