    Boost Guage

    Can anyone tell me whether a boost guage should hiss and release air?

    I've just fitted a new one - that should be trial fitted (ie on the passenger seat) - and there's air leaking from it somewhere. I just wondered if this was normal?

    If not then it looks like I've got a dud!

    sorry, bad news... either its a dud, or your connection to it is dud. you should have no air escaping.

      No, it should not leak. Maybe it's the connection leaking?

        Thanks for that. Its definately the connection. I can feel it rushing out. I'll get something to seal the thread and see what happens.

          PTFE tape should work

              You can find it in a plumbers merchants or B & Q plumbing dept etc..
              Its used for wrapping around the threads of plumbing fittings to stop leaks, comes in a little white plastic roll a bit like Sellotape. Wrap it clockwise round the male part so that screwing the parts together does not unwind it. (fnaarr)
