whoyakidding's ghost fired this volley in
:

My gauge was oil filled and on the end of
about 8' of flex hose, no snubber. Gauge did bounce a little but was
fine for years.


Hoses expand and contract more than one might assume, based on their
pressure ratings. The hose (that long) WAS the 'snubber'. Essentially,
the same as adding a small air accumulator near the gauge, but using the
flexibility of the hose instead of the compressiblity of air to do the
absorbing of the spikes.
