Agreed. A gauge has been on my list of upgrades but I'm going to wait until
the first filter replacement to do it when the fuel system is opened up
anyway. I figure next winter is about time to do this.

Incidentally, I have an electric fuel pump. When I accidentally bumped the
fuel shut off, I learned that it makes a racket when pumping hard.
Listening to it on every start up should also be a clue to developing filter
problems.
