Default fuel pressure gauge

I have a mechanical fuel press gauge that i bought of a friend for 10 bucks. I know they are suppost to be mounted outside of the car.. but is there a safe way to use a mech. fuel press gauge inside the car on the pillar. I know they sell isolators so u dont have to run fuel into the car, but they run for like 60 bucks. Plus the steal braided lines.. Would i just be better off gettin an electric fuel press. and how accurate are the electric compared to the mech.

thanks alot

oil pressure isn't as bad..but don't use the little plastic tube that they come with. use a steel braided line.
