Remote Oil Pressure Sender Wiring/Mounting

[mocfly]

Group,

I am taking the plunge and remote mounting the oil pressure sender and have a few questions for those that know the answers.

 

1. When mounting the sender is it ok to just drill thru the firewall for the clamp? Or is there a special procedure?

2. There are 2 different types of clamps in the kit. One type is the pressure type. Like a crimp connector and the other is a screw type. Which is used where?

3. The unit i took off had 2 terminals. One wire/White went back to the gauge as the signal wire. The other/Black. Went directly to the engine ground. The gauge ground connects to the bus. I am thinking of just running the ground from the sender directly to the pin on the gauge, same with the signal wire.

4. The kit had a very large dia. firehose. Does this go around the sender?

5. Does anyone have pictures of how they have the sender mounter to the firewall?

6. Are there also pictures of the oil pressure hose routing?

 

How does this look for the oil line route?

Roger,

How do you get the air out of the remote line? Does a procedure exist? Do ou even need to prime the line?

Roger,

Pressure finally came up. Nice and steady. Time for a test flight.

Test flight went great. Oil pressure nice and steady. One item we did was bypass the main ground bus. My hope is that we have a more stable ground.
