It's interesting that your Defi gauge is 1/8 BSP; which do you have? I have the Defi BF Advance, and the manual is saying it's 1/8 NPT.

Well, the acronyms used for pipe threads certainly can be confusing. The install manual for my Defi Racer gauge indicated that the threads on the sensor were 1/8 PT ... which is a Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) designation. After researching the different thread types and designations, I discovered that the 1/8 PT thread was equivalent to and interchangeable with 1/8 BSPT. So, you don't need an adapter if you intend to install the Defi sensor directly into the factory engine port since that port is 1/8 BSPT. In my case, I needed an adapter to fit the sensor into the oil filter sandwich plate since the port on the plate was 1/8 NPT (i.e., I used a 1/8 PT or BSPT male to 1/8 NPT female adapter). Trust this helps!
