Is there a difference between a gas & diesel oil pressure gauge? I was looking at a catalog today and they had two diffenent gauges for gas and diesel. Just curious

The diesel engine has higher oil pressure than the gassers.

Yes, the diesel runs much higher oil pressure than the early gas for sure. I'd like to say normal oil pressure is 35 to 45 psi for the diesel. I'd have to look in the manual to say for sure.
