Filter Minder - Fuel Filter Indicator

Has anyone installed one of these to monitor fuel filter restriction?

I think these type of minders only work if the filter is on the suction side of the lift pump. Ours are on the pressure side.
A single FP gauge on the outlet side of the filter works for me. If my FP ever drops below it's normal cruising pressure of 32 psi first thing to do is change the filter. If the pressure doesn't come back up time to look elsewhere for the source of the pressure drop.
