motorcycle intake manifold

[Don.F.Broadus at ucm.com]

I have had two oil pressure transducers (one wire type) fail by leaking
through the top where the wire connects.
I would recommend a strain gauge type of transducer that has a welded
diaphragm. The chances of leaking would be greatly reduced.

	Why not use one designed for that purpose, or at least use an 
	isolator?.  50-60 PSI of warm fuel will leak thru about anything.
	I'm not at all keen of the words EFI, and hose clamps being
	used in the same sentence.  Fire is terrible for cars, and humans.
