Hi guys, does anyone know what the correct type of tubing for a mechanical oil pressure gauge should be? Can I use rubber fuel line? What's the maximum length for the tubing? I think 5-6 feet would get the gauge where I want it. |

Why use a rubber hose to transfer a pressure. Copper tubing should work real well. |
