Just connected up oil pressure gauge, all works fine apart from where the hose from the gauge joins the three way adapter, it seems to keep on leaking oil. The connection has been tightened up as much as it can, with the little washer in place, but still it leaks. Has anyone had this sort of problem who could advise me as to how to over come it. Any advise would be highly appreciated

i had this problem with a gauge i bought, i sent it back and asked for a new one which i got, new one leaked too so fucked the idea of, more hassle
that what its worth, get an electric one instead of mechanical

 

Try some PTFE tape on the treads before you screw it into the adapter.Regards Micky

 

YOU COULD ALSO TRY LIQUID PTFE IT IS VERY GOOD AND HAS NEVER FAILDED ME YET

 

Thanks for the advise guys. Spoke to a pal late night about it, he recommended that PTFE tape aswell so i think i will give it ago.

Thanks guys

 

Micky would you recommend that i use that PTFE tape on both threads, coz that would get well messie if the thread was to leak right at the back of the gauge, cheers pal

 

Use PTFE tape on all threads. They will leak if you don't.
