After 45 minutes or so I can't read them at all through the mist. Is this a condition I can repair, or are the gauges shot? Jim Par; /html/healeys/2006-01/msg00054.html (7,546 bytes)

IMO the truth is, that warm air can hold more moisture than cold air, when the coil in the gauge heats up it will heat up the air around it.
