[DeTomaso] Any Issue with using an Oil Pressure Gauge for FuelPressure???

Aside from many many other issues it would read under 8 lbs at best. Probably the total margin of error in the gauge and gauges should be designed to be at noon when all is well. You'll never get past 8 o'clock.  I think there are bigger issues than these.  Michael in savannah

The very cool MSD gauges being sold for about 1/4 retail include a 100 PSI oil pressure gauge.  Is there any obvious reason why it couldn't be used as a fuel pressure gauge?  I know gas is a LOT thinner, but hot oil seems like an even worse environment.
 
If necessary, I've seem hydraulic isolators to separate gas from a non-volatile liquid so the gauge can be in the cockpit, do I need one for this?
