Did I read somewhere that you can use a grease gun hose for a fuel pressure gauge? Maybe I didnt but who knows.

You can indeed use the grease gun hose, as I also have done. You will need a 1/8" double female coupling to mate the pressure gauge to the hose. Where things get to be a pain is mating the hose to the fuel bowl. I couldn't find anything local at the hydraulic shops. I ordered a fitting from ITP Diesel. The fitting was $6 and the shipping was $10
