How to check fuel pressure?

Does anybody know where to find/purchase a banjo with a shrader valve on it in order to check the fuel pressure using the pressure checkers that accept shrader valves. Looked all over the net and cant' find squat. Not going to purchase a new kit that includes it. I already have one and just need the banjo. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Of course, sorry about that. This is my first time posting to forums. I have a 98 tacoma 2.7 4cyl. The fuel line connects to my fuel rail by way of a banjo. The SST from toyota utilizes a banjo as well with their fuel pressure gauge to basically double up on top of the existing one on my rail and uses a double banjo bolt (i believe) to accommodate both banjos in order to test the pressure. I would love to install a banjo with a schrader valve, permanently, for whenever I need to tap into my line but am having one heck of a time locating one.

Here's some ways on a 3.4, but it may give you an idea, scroll down to the sender section:

Fuel pressure adapter

Found this thing online. Has anybody used one? I think it looks great for a fuel pressure gauge but will it mess up a fuel pressure test since it's before the fuel rail? I'm thinking about leaky injectors, for example. Just seems like such a nice (if pricy at $60) fix for all the difficulty testing the fuel pressure.
