Have a Volvo TAMD40B engine and would like to add oil pressure, water temp, and volt gauges to my fly bridge panel. Can this be done without changing all the sending units? All I have up there is a tach and idiot lights.

So to install a gauge you will need a new sender and to retain your idiot gauge sender you will need to install a tee so both can use the same block port. When you do this you will want to keep the hardware to a minimum so: it doesn't stick out and catch on things, and it doesn't have a large mass that can vibrate and crack the fitting. If you can fit it in, a street tee would be the best. Screw the male end of the tee in the block and then screw your two senders in to the female ends. Or use a regular tee and a short nipple.
