#89787, "Autometer is awesome. Blew sending unit. They sent a solution..."


          

So I just blew my second oil pressure sender. Called autometer. They guy I spoke with said they are prone to blow in high vibration/noise situations (interesting for something meant to be in the block!). So he sent me a new unit and 5 feet of braided line. He told me to mount it remotely using a conduit pipe hanger! Brilliant!!!

My question, if I mount it on the top of the firewall foir access, will it affect my readings???

This is the part that I have a hard time believing is Awesome... emoji


A product that fails for 90% of the people multiple times is not awesome in my book.

Remote mounting is actually preferable so that you don't transmit vibration directly into the sender. The only thing i have on the back of my block is a 3/8ths pipe -> -4AN adapter, which feeds a -4 line to a distribution block.

That's what I need to do. Where did you get that distro block?

thanks; what was the behavior of the guage when i blew? did it peg out to 100 or just give you all around crazy readings, id hate for it to sit at zero and me thinking OMFG no oil pressure.

sorry shoulda asked that earlier
