Does anyone have a (reasonably) simple method for bench testing a 0-30# oil pressure gauge? :confused: I'd like to know that it will move but also make sure it is somewhat accurate. Thanks!

Haven't done this but have you tried connecting a line from your air compressor to the back of the gauge.

Make sure you have a good regulator and pressure gauge inbetween the gauge and the compressor.

Pressure is pressure as long as you don't go above 30 psi you shouldn't have a problem.

If you try it let us know how it works for you.

When I tested my heater, I used a couple of chunks of heater hose, slipped tire valves, the rubber end into the hoses and used gear clamps on them. The other ends were hooked up to the heater. I was able to use a bicycle pump to provide pressure and then immerse the whole thing in water. If you can make a tire the source of your air pressure, you can set the tire for whatever pressure you want and use a similar setup.
