Oil Pressure Gauge

All part of th' game, m'dear. All part of th' game. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
 
Wonders if air in the line will make the gauge read high or low?
 
Compression is compression. Air will compress and decompress more quickly than oil, but oil pressure readings are fairly constant so that wouldn't be an issue. Air will also expand under temperature which could raise the gauge reading slightly but I doubt it would be more than 1 or 2 PSI.
