Are the Oil/fuel pressure guages suitable to measure water pressure in a header tank?

I'm not sure of the exact specs of the sensors, but oil pressure will typically run in the 60-80 psi range. Water pressure in the 10-15 psi range.

Yes, they will work (assuming they fit mechanically), but you won't have the best resolution. Water pressure sensors only need to be rated to 25 psi max or so. Oil pressure should be around 100.
