- Well, I know that my question is not (directly) related autos, but it is
- only one step away.
-
- I have a high pressure oxygen gauge. I would like to make a jig for
- testing the breakover pressure of diesel fuel injectors on my diesel
- Rabbit. The gauge goes to 4000 psi., and the breakover pressure of
- the injectors is to be set to 2400 psi., so everything is fine there.
-
- The question is: Is there any problem using an oxygen gauge to measure
- the pressure of diesel fuel? Also, on the face of the gauge is the
- statement, "Use no oil." Does this refer to the gears, pivots, etc.
- inside the gauge, that you should not oil it? Or does it mean that you
- should not use the gauge to meter the pressure of oil (due to material
- limitations).
