CALL Rich at HPH 650-364-6234. I have read that others are using paint ball hoses.

Nope, at least not metric, anyway. They only stock the 1/8" npt style, currently.

I used a grease gun hose from ACE hardware.

stainless wrapped air line from a paint ball gun looks better...just find a paint ball store.

Oh, yep, my bad. I bought 3 metric ones from John, the last one being a couple years ago. Thanks for correcting me!

Remember, it's 10mm x 1 TAPERED thread, NOT conventional 10x1 straight thread. It's virtually indistinguishable from 1/8 NPT. You could probably cut both with the same tap and never know the difference. The 10mm x 1 straight thread is used in more modern applications, and always with a copper washer. Typical VDO dual post senders for our application have tapered threads and should not be used with adapters having straight 10mm x 1 holes. I suggest a grease gun hose, because they're cheap and readily available. They normally withstand 1500-3000 PSI, so they're substantially overengineered for this use. As always, you'll have to ground the sending unit in order for it to work properly.

again...paint ball gun hose.
Its NPT, it fits, and it does not look like a grease gun hose.

As always, ground the sender.

Thx Cap't, Rich 'n Chris. It all makes sense now. The black grease gun hose will match my color scheme, also. Thanks a bunch guys.

+1 on the paintball hose. My local store had different lengths so I got one that fit perfectly. I made a metal bracket that attached to the case with one of the case bolts. This way, it was self-grounding, no separate ground wire needed.
