Well since my stock oil pressure guage is moving some I figured I would get a Real guage. My question is it comes with a nlyon tube, I was reading on another forum that it will burst. So I figured I would see if any of you guys running oil pressure guages have changed the tube out for something else?

I been running the nylon line in car's for long as I can recall...Never once had an incident...just keep it routed from sharp/hot items and no kinks...youll be fine.

Its more important you get that ferrell on the line ,and seated up the line some to get the mofo to hold and not slip out...

I used a 4' braided line for F/P on the cowl and just made it. I'm thinking 6' would be plenty.
