I made one up exactly as you describe, and it works fine! Just remember to use a hose rated for fuel injection. I used the gauge from an old acetylen tube regulator. It had a suitable scale and should survive the fuel fumes. A proper brass fitting for attaching the gauge to the 8 mm hose was found at the hardware store. Use proper sized clamps to hold things together. Attach the whole thing to the fuel ring, where there is a short pipe with a little screw in its end, pointing up between the injectors (on either side of the engine). Remove the screw first...
