Correct length of hose between oil pressure sender and gauge
Discussion
Advice please.
Just had the Think Auto mechanical oil pressure gauge fitted and the length of hose between the sender mounted on the offside engine mount to the gauge as supplied is far too long.
I have measured it and the length would appear to be 5'06" but that doesn't allow much excess. I remember reading somewhere it is sensible to allow for the gauge to be pulled out of the dashboard and the hose joined to the gauge; and of course cannot now find this topic.
Can anyone who has a sender mounted in a similar fashion, confirm if a 5'06" length of (Aeroquip) hose is too short / too long / just right?
