Help, Will The Oem Oil Pressure Sending Unit Work For...


Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is in the right section...

Here's the story. I have an accusump which I'd like to know what it's air pressure is from the cab. Anyways, since I have a new oil pressure transducer, I still have my functional OEM one and I don't like seeing a dead gauge in my main cluster so what better use that having it tell me what my accusump is doing. Question is, will this bugger read air pressure, though it's an oil pressure sensor? Pressure is pressure but is there a seal issue or plunger problem? Help!

If this can't work, any one know what the voltage or current range is on the OEM gauge so I can calibrate an replacement transducer? Odd question yes but I can't stand dead gauges in my dash. No, I don't have another place to tap for a second oil pressure sensor.

there is no reason why the OEM sensor wouldnt work on air pressure. the bigger concern is that the sensor and gauge will read in the range of the pressure you are watching.

about the only thing you wouldnt use it for is fuel pressure.
