[Shotimes] getting to the oil pressure sender

[Ian Fisher]

Well..If pressure is measured as a force exerted
across a certain area of certain diameter and we alter
that by inserting a T of a larger diameter, aren't we
changing the pressure? Also, the sender has created a
new path for the oil to flow through which may create
a bottleneck or a change in pressure...

just ideas in my head, i'm def. not an engineer. :)
