The gauges would have to be mounted in the cab - not under the hood, so you could monitor restriction under high loaded fuel demands, while driving uphill, loaded with trailer.
Also, the lines would have to be tapped pre-filter, and then somewhere between the tank and the restriction, which in the case described was somewhere near the transmission.
Honestly, not knowing what we now know of the line collapse under demand and resulting restriction - there would have been no reason to install the gauges in these locations.
