[Shotimes] Fuel Pressure Gauge

[Steve Weinrich]

Before the regulator and after the pulse dampener.

The regulator acts like a navigation dam on a river.  The dam maintains a
minimum "height" of water in the pool.

The FP regulator maintains a minimum and a maximum pressure behind it in the
fuel rail and is located on the outlet of the rail.

This scheme is to ensure that the injectors all have fuel at about 39 psi
available to all of them.

If pressure in the rail is below the threshhold, it keeps fuel from
returning to the tank.  If the pressure rises to over 39 psi, the regulator
opens and bleeds off fuel to maintain that 39 psi pressure.
