Re: Adding a fuel-pressure check port
 

The normal 'hose clamps' that screw along a slotted track are called
worm clamps. They make them for higher pressure applications with a
solid band stamped with threads.

I either use one of those or I double the old style ones.

Re: Adding a fuel-pressure check port
 

Rather than creating a potential leak problem, you'd be better off
buying or making an adapter you could insert between the line and the
rail to check pressure. You don't need a permanent test port.

Here is the connector at the fuel rail:

Is there an adapter available?
