hey guys
I was just looking in Jegs at the Gauges and I was wanting to know your guys thoughts on Liquid filled apposed to regular. I have heard wierd stuff about liquid filled. Something about they can give you odd readings when the oil in the guage heats up or when it is cold. Please let me know your oppinions.
Thanks

I don't like them. Especially when the little plug gets lost and that glycerin gets all over the place, like that back of my suburban last weekend. Had a plug come out of a nitrous bottle gauge and it leaked all over the place. I had one of them fail Sunday, right before first round of eliminations. We just got called to the lanes and I got in the car and was wondering why in the heck the nitrous bottle gauge was sweating.. Turned out the gauge was leaking pretty bad and had to switch bottles real quick like.

Liquid Guages
I like the liquid guages for my application (Blown Alcohol car) simply because the car vibrates so much just from the engine running the normal guage are hard to read. The liquid dampens the vibrations and make the guages easy to read. As far as the liquid in them I have really never had a failure or any leakage.
One vote for liquid guages.
