Default Fuel pressure gauge

Ok so in going to put a fuel pressure gauge in my truck. I was wondering where the best spot is to put the pressure sensor. Is there a place in the fuel regulator?

Remove the shrader valve off the bowl put in a 90* fitting and get an oil filled gauge. It may not fit if you still got darth vader's helmet still on though.

He probably meant the FPR- fuel pressure regulator. The shraeder valve is right next to it and attached to the same piece.

the IPR - Injection pressure sensor is attached to the HPOP and regulates oil pressure controlling the injectors.
