Oil pressure sensor reccomendations?

Hi All,

I'm looking for an oil pressure gauge that will be used on a marine diesel
engine. Any recommendations for an easy to use unit? I will have a 10 bit
ADC.

Thanks!

    I've used these. Very rugged. 1/4" NPT fitting. Temperature compensated.
    Supply voltage is 10 -> 30 VDC. Output is 4-20 mA, which you can drop
    across a suitable resistor to get the voltage output range you want.

    What was the "ballpark" pricing on the ones you were getting?

    Steve,

    My mistake, I asked for a guage, not a transducer, which is what I meant.
    Have you used any of their 200 series trandsducers? It doesn't say if they
    are rated for oil or not. Any reccomendations on transducers?

    Thanks for the help, sorry for the confusion.
