Greg, do you use any kind of isolator between the A/C gauge and the fuel
rail?  Don't you get gas in the gauge that way?

There's a fellow on austin.forsale who's offering 150 PSI gauges for
$3-$6 each, depending on quantity.  I bought a handful from him some
time ago, they seem like pretty good ones, brass/steel/glass.

Here's his ad:

FS:  Pressure Gauges 150 PSIG and 30 in Hg vacuum connect with 1/4"
pipe thread  $2.25 for one including  tax  Much less in quantity--see
www.aus-etc.com/~cibolo/top for a picture of a gauge.

By U.S. Gauge  Sellersville PA   Made in USA

Bronze works, steel housing with glass snap on front.  No plastic
anywhere.  Well suited for any location protected from rain.  Would
work even in the rain if given a shot of WD-40 every year.

The only reason these are for sale at a distressed price is that
another product designer, (not me!),  overlooked the importance of
marketing!  Your gain.

My prices to you are based on how many you buy plus cost of shipping
by medium slow methods.  The volume discount exponentially approaches
a buck a piece(plus shipping and tax) starting from $5.75 each
including tax and shipping by Priority Mail.  I charge $4.50 per three
to ship priority mail.  For 7 or more, I will make a trip to send it
UPS for $9 and up.
