oil pressure line

What do you guys use for a replacement oil pressure line or tube? The 1/8 tubing doesn't seem to be big enough for the oil to go thru.

1/8 inch line for oil pressure use is fine, as there's only a bit of flow to move the gauge needle with pressure. It's not like it's feeding a main bearing or turbo..

It would help if you told us what you were working on. A lot of the older MMs used 1/4" o.d. tubing to the gauge. And in some cases it was copper, with flared fittings.

But, like dieseltech says, only enough oil is going to move through it to move the gauge, so 1/8" will work and is pretty common now.
