I had an idea for a oil pressure gauge line. I wanna know what you guys think. I though about using a grease gun hose from the engine to a bulkhead fitting in the fire wall and another grease gun hose from that to the gauge. Will it work? THANKS![;)
 
Another thought....

Why not use some hydraulic hose and fittings to do the same...I'm sure the grease gun hose would hold the pressure...just not sure how the hose would react / hold up to hot oil....probably would work...but I think a small hydraulic hose would be better...JMHO....
 
Heat would not really be a problem since oil is not flowing right thru the hose, it's just holding pressure. I used to use lots of those old cheapo oil pressure gauges with the plastic hose, so if they can take it, a grease gun hose will surely be safe.
