A high speed drop on the fuel guage warned me of a fuel discharge
problem. I could visible see the fule needle falling. I was fortunate
not to have a fire, but the engine compartment was soaked in gasoline. A
split fuel hose under 30 psi of pressure is going to spray out a lot of
gasoline in a hurry.

I'm not sure a fuel pressure gage would do that much good because as
long as the pump is keeping up with the fuel loss, the fuel pressure
guage will show proper fuel pressure. A flow rate guage might work
better, or better still, a fuel level indicator that relates to time
some how - Fuel gage and stop watch integrated together some how.
