Oil filled gauges should have an air bubble. That allows the gauge to survive through a wide temperature range. If a gauge was fully oil filled, and the temperature increased the incompressible oil would expand and break the gauge.
Hello! I recently bought one of these compressors and noticed on the gauges of the upper part it looks like they are oil filled and some has leaked out. I also notice that it looks to be the same in this video on yours. Do you have any idea why it's like that?
@elasticbandman mines the same way since the day out of the box. every other picture i see of them it also looks like that. gonna call tomorrow but i think its supposed to be that way
Did you ever make a follow-up review? I did a little searching around but didn't see one
