Fuel System Tester

I am in the process of purchasing a fuel system pressure tester and want to make sure I get the right tool.

I have an '85 Carrera, so it has the DME- Motronic fuel injection system. (When I look in my parts catalogue, which is for an '86, it lists parts for an L-Jetronic I, II, and III system, and a K-Jetronic I,II, and III system. From simply looking at the pictures, it looks like a have the L-Jetronic. Is there a more definitive way to determine if I have an L or K system?)

This is not a CIS system, correct?

If correct, then I do not need the pressure tester that has a "T" with a shut off valve and 2 separate hoses with connectors branching out from the "T", correct?

I simply need a gauge with a bleeder and a single hose with a 12 mm X 1.5 pitch connector (without a shut off valve).

Interestingly, on page 240-2 of the Fuel Injection section in the Bentley Manual (for a 1984-1989) under special tools, it shows a fuel pressure gauge with the "T" and the 2 hoses. Later on in that section on page 240-7, it shows a gauge with a single hose (I think) hooked up to the connection at the end of the rail. On page 240-6 in the narrative on checking fuel pressure, it only says to connect the gauge to the fuel rail (singular).

Thanks.
