Oil pressure warning

[Don Lillig]

Thanks Pete,

I've kinda suspected that since lately I've been getting the
empty fuel warnings with half a tank. This also comes and
goes. I've got a friend who's an xray tech and very good with
a soldering iron. We'll give it a shot. Thanks for your reply. I
just rejoined the list  a week ago and have some catching
up to do.
