stay away from cheap mechanical gauges...use either something like autometer digital or something with an electronic sweep.

I would never mount a b&m gauge on the fuel rail or any component that vibrates.
The gauge falls apart because it is not liquid filled.

Awesome. I have personally seen b&m gauges start to fall apart & leak on several customer's cars when mounted on the fuel rail due to vibration. Not when mounted on the fuel filter.

The rail is mounted to an engine that vibrates... Think about it.
