Fuel Pressure Gauge and Schrader Vavle

This is my first diesel truck and I am doing everything right so it lasts. Sunday I installed my gauges, Autometer Sport Comp II, (Pyro, Boost, and Fuel Pressure) I ordered the fuel line from Geno's Garage and installed it today.

Problem:

My FP gauge is reading 0 psi. When I remove the sending unit my gauge goes to max psi.

-- I have checked the fuel line and I am not getting any fuel to the sending unit. What is the next step?

-- I checked the valve and it is working, I get fuel when I push on the valve

Does the hose connection have something to push in the valve?

If not, you'll have to remove the valve,
standard bicyle valve stem remover should be able to.

100 psi FP guage is overkill,
you won't see much over 15 psi with the stock lift pump,
20 or so with a Fass even.
