Dear List members, I'm about to install an oil pressure gauge and a oil temparature gauge in my Vanagon as soon as I get all the parts assembled. Regarding the oil pressure gauge, does anyone know (for certain) if a Tee fitting and 2 senders for the oil pressure and idiot light is preferrable to a sender with a double pin? Hector infomred me that a double pin sender it might fool the dynamic low oil pressure system to give you a false alarm. He suggests that the van's engine uses two senders, with different pressure ratings for the system to work. Is there any reason to use a Tee and two senders instead of the dual sender? Another question regarding what I gleaned from the archives. One posting suggests that the NPT 1/8 fitting is so close tot he 11 mm metric that it does not matter which is used. Any thoghts about that? William Polowniak 1989 Vanagon GL 1988 Mercedes 300 SE
