I guess one other thing that I forgot.  Most generic fuel pressure gauges
stop at 50 to 60 PSI - the fuel pump on your Vanagon can produce pressures
over 100 PSI if you test it's direct operating pressure.  The stock fuel
pump is more than capable of running CIS-Motronic systems from the Audi 80
which need about 85 PSI to run... just a safety concern as I would not want
to see a pump explode or anything like that due to too much pressure.

David,
can  you tell us what advantages your fuel pressure gauge has over just any
old pressure gauge from the hardware store?

Thanks,
