Had this gauge installed on the deuce and now get similar results on the 8x8 multifuel.
The pressure drop across the two filters and the oil cooler (no port to access between them on the -2 engine) pops up to about 6 psi at first and drops to about 3 psi after five minutes at idle.
This info may be of interest to the people making spin-on conversions, otherwise the gauge is a good way to tell when it's time to replace the filter elements...
The lower the pressure drop, the more efficient the filtering will be.
