Fuel Press. gauge on fuel rail. HOW???
I've got a fuel pressure gauge that mounts on the schraeder valve on my TPI fuel rails. I need to remove the pin in the valve, then screw on the gauge fitting.
Do I just screw it on? Do I need any type of sealant? Teflon tape? There's a good bit of heat and fuel nearby, figure this had better be done right!

I just went out & took a picture of what I did, even though my setup is a little different than what you're describing.
In my case, I removed the entire fitting from the fuel rail & took it in to a local speed shop, who pulled the correct adapter from a shelf that allowed me to attach a short braided line, which allowed me to mount my fuel-pressure gauge on the fenderwell. (No, I don't have the part number, wish I did...)
The valve inside can be removed with your garden-variety valvestem-removal tool, available at any bicycle shop, tire store, etc.
No sealant or Teflon tape was necessary.
Hope this helps!
