Most of the cheaper oil pressure gauges seem to come with a thin plastic tube
to carry the pressure from the engine to the gauge. This would scare me- if it
breaks
under the dash, it starts spraying oil all over your feet; if it breaks
under the hood, you will start losing oil (hopefully you will look at
the gauge before all the oil is gone...). If I were installin one of these,
I would look into getting a copper line or braided hydraulic hose to
replace it...
