So, I have been trying to install a mechanical after-market oil pressure gauge. It came with a nylon hose, which I believe is 1/8". The problem is that the hose is tightly wound and it cracks and creases up very easily, thus making it no good to use.
Has anyone used another transport medium for this, such as rubber? I wonder if rubber might expand enough to cause an inaccurate reading.. or if that's not really a concern. I can get oil-grade hose in a small diameter from Napa, or perhaps Autozone.
Or.. would a place, such as a hardware store, have a better grade of nylon tubing to use? I'd like to avoid nylon if it all possible though.
