Mike .... (legal maneuver to avoid responsibility) DON'T do that!!
but ... if you do 8^) .... the main concern I'd have is where
it's located in case it springs a leak .... I don't think there's much
place for it to leak from, though if it's the 1-1/2" or so around,
the 35 psi or so could stress (shouldn't -- it's made for oil pressures
higher than that). As far as the gage -- the only problem with the
oil gage is it says "Oil" instead of "Fuel" ;-)
