Ian;
Changing the dia to increase flow can have an affect, just not on the
pressure reading.
I changed an oil pressure line once from small plastic tubing (1/16 in) to
1/4 in dia tubing (copper then S.S.) With a mechanical guage. The change in
needle response was amazing! From 1-3 seconds for a change, to quick 10 lb
jumps in a 1/4 second! I could even see the pressure drop instanteously in
an A-X corner, when the oil pickup un-covered!
