Autometer fuel pressure gauge (not for dodge diesel)?

So I went with the Lunar Series gauges (wanted to match my inside lighting) and I bought them a while back. I finally got the fuel pressure gauge hooked up and it is showing a constant 16-17psi or so. It doesn't drop with my comp box on 5x5 at WOT at all. I do have a FASS.
Ok, so the reason why it bothers me is what it says on summit racings website now on that gauge.
"This gauge is not designed for use on a Dodge diesel." (didn't say that when I bought it)
I don't want to mix/match my gauges and I sure as hel don't want to replace all my gauges ($$$) but I need to know if the reading is accurate. Why would it say that about this gauge?
The sender is ran inline at the vp44.
