Pressure is pressure... right.... BUT the innards of one gauge may be built
for one fluid and yet seals may dissolve with a fluid they are not designed
for.... dunno but something to think about.... especially when you're
talking fuel.... personally, for a permanent installation I'd want some kind
of assurance that it was designed to take gasoline... imagine fuel spraying
all over the engine compartment :(   very bad...
