As was said above, get yourself an isolater kit and plumb the gauge to the dash. Pegasus has a good one.

And anyone else who has an underhood fuel pressure gauge, let this serve as your wakeup call.
Then why does this gauge sold by Pegasus say:
0-15psi Fuel Pressure Gauge, 1/8 NPT

An accurate gauge makes it easy to set your fuel pressure regulator. This 1.5 inch diameter liquid-filled pressure gauge can be mounted in the engine compartment to monitor the operation of the fuel pump (and regulator, if used).

Also, the isolator is designed to be used when you have the gauge inside your cockpit, right?
