I'm curious because I can't see another explanation for my experience with the 4' hose, as stated in a previous post.

Question please: is anyone running at 180 with a longish non copper connection?
When the "balloon" is in transition the pressure will be off, but eventually it will either stabilize or pop
I have hooked up a number of oil pressure gauges and none of them ever needed bleeding. Pressure gauges on airplanes can have a lot of hose between the cockpit and an engine on the wing and they don't have bleeds. If there is 100 PSI oil at one end of a sealed pipe, it will move up the pipe until it meets 100 PSI air
