"Running either a nylon or copper line is asking for trouble. Kind of like a computer: The question is not, will it crash, but when!"
I have really done what Wilf has done. My gauges by Autometer denmand nothing less than an an-3 or an-4 steel braided line to connect the gage to the engine
oil port
Their setup using a 6 foot hose was $115 CDN. So after a suggestion from a friend, I was off to the local fluidics shop and ordered up the aeroquip industrial equivalents of their automotive line and a 6 foot length of hose to match. Hydraulics with aeroquip stamped appropriately along. (MatchMates) All an-4 and all crimped for me.
Looks good coming off my remore
oil filter adapter which already house the an-8 aeroquip for the
oil fiter and cooler runs
Cost $44 CDN.
I already gave autometer $425US on the gages...no more LOL
Should be no problemo
