Will this tester work for a bus? Any other recommendations?

It's just crazy enough to work:
Product Description
This tester determines if the fuel pressure regulator needs adjusting or replacing. It will allow the mechanic to adjust it to the correct pressure if its is adjustable. It will also tell if other components are bad, such as fuel pump, filter, etc. Has everything to test the following systems: American Motors; Bosch AFC, MPC Euro & Japanese (except C.I.S.); Chrysler Corp.; Ford Motor Co.; GM (except T.B.I); Japanese fuel injection systems. Also works with others using Bendix-type fuel injection or Schrader-type valve, including the small Scrader valve found on both T.B.I. and Multi-Port Fuel Injection systems found on Ford products. Dual scale 2-1/2" gauge, 100 PSI and 7 kg/cm2 Comes in heavy vinyl pouch with instructions and specifications
Maybe check with the mfr. first though.

I use this one because it is cheaper, but that one will work if you cut off one of the fittings and attach it to the fuel rail test port with a piece of 7mm or 5/16" fuel line and clamp it securely to both the rail and to the gauge.
