i just installed my Autometer Mechanical guage in the car, and its leaking out the back of the guage! Its leaking where the nut actually threads into the guage itself.

Anyone fixed this leak without going Electric Guage? :SNSign:

CHeck the ferrule, line and gauge interface for plumbness. Make sure the ferrule isnt cracked (from overtightening).

Good luck.

All I can say is I used it on my vdo guage with no problem as long as the tape is on the threads I dont see how it would damage it.
