Air & Fluid Gauge ?

[Mrwurm]

Well, I've wrecked my favorite dial-type air pressure gauge by using it on my rim-guard filled rear tires /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I know.... I was warned. I did it anyway. Don't know exactly what the fluid did to it, but it's no good for anything anymore. No amount of rinsing or tinkering seems to make it want to work again /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

So, I bought a new pencil-type gauge at TSC. The package says its designed for tractors and will work on air and fluid-filled tires /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

That being said... what happened to my old gauge /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif How did a little fluid cripple my favorite gauge and what is different about the new one ???

Try soaking in alcohol on that gauge that isn't working..

I used my tire gauge on my water well bladder tank once that had leaked water to the air side. As with your experience it killed the gauge dead. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
