ok ,installed the 5117 kit today, everything went smooth as silk. except, that when i picked up the bottle to place it in the brackets, my finger accidently pushed the little rubber plug on the back of the n20 guage. into the guage. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> then all the liquid proceeded to pour out!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> the guage works, but you can here a constant faint sound of air coming out of the hole where the plug used to be. i dont think its n20 leaking, since i pushed it out at 11 am and its 6:30 pm now and the bottle has 1100psi in it and still weighs 34 on my digi. has this happened to anyone else in here, should i be worried? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

 

Its no big deal. The fluid is just there to dampen the needle. you can actually buy gauge fluid but i think you can use mineral oil. or leave it empty. either way the gauge should read accurate.

 

well the guage was leaking nitrous, i weighed the bottle tonight it was down 5 pounds. time for a new guage!

 

Well that sucks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
There not too bad on price though.

 

Call your vendor and they will warrant the guage. I did something similiar and lost all the fluid. I had them send the guage that has no fluid, which was good for them. It cost less, but I don't plan any rougher terrain than my driveway.
BTW, I believe they cost about 40 bucks....that is one horsepower. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Good Luck!

 

NOS warateed my guage but it was a PITA...

the fluid is Glycerine <sp?> you can get it at any drug store or WalMart.. it's used for dry skin...

if you're gonna trash the gauge can i have the little rubber plug? got my old gauge that i wanted to put in the car but noone has a plug to fit... :dunno:

 

sorry i dont have the guage or the rubber plug or id give it to ya. i trashed it when my new non liquid filled guage arrived.
