Liquid filled gauges in an environment where there are severe temperature changes will effect the readings on the gauge. I believe it has to do with the expansion and contraction of the liquid. I have done comparisons with both. I have a liquid filled on my regulator behind the block and a dry one on the fuel log. After the engine warms up the liquid reading drops and the dry one stays on mark.
I have been told by BG and Aeromotive to stay away from them. Also, if they are filled up with little air there is a chance they can burst. nuff said?
