Hello Everyone,

 

A few weeks ago we had a discussion about this, and I then went away and checked my installation. After measuring the voltages I concluded that the display unit is ok, but both the Oil Pressure and Fuel Pressure sensors are not behaving.

 

So then I looked into replacements. There was an interesting post last September from Bill Rumburg about using sensors from Measurement Specialities; the originals are Honeywell Mediamates.

 

Bill was saying the OP and FP transducers are different in their voltage vs pressure response by a factor of 2 and he was exploring some alternative devices. But here is another idea. Why not just find a sensor that gives the correct output for FP? The same sensor will give 2x the reading if used for OP, but that can be scaled down by 2 with a simple precision resistor network.

 

If that is correct, and I’ve followed the previous discussion correctly, then Digi Key have the very item we need:

 

What do you think, people?

 

Yours,

 

Nick
