Dumb question...can you use a old boost gauge as a FP guage?

The truck I have came with Boost and EGT gauges, well it only has a puny 35psi gauge and I can peg it and then some!

Just wondering since I have to replace it anyways if it could be used a fuel pressure gauge? I want to do a permenant mount FP gauge with Geno's donut underdash mount kit anyways and this would save a little $$.
