An automatic precharge gas pressure adjuster for a hydraulic desurger for automatically adjusting the precharge gas pressure in response to operating changes in system fluid pressure thereby maintaining a constant volume of precharge gas in the desurger. The adjusting unit comprises a cylinder divided into two chambers by a spring-biased differential-area piston. The system fluid pressure communicates with the chamber facing the first or largest area piston face while precharge gas communicates with the chamber facing the second or smallest area piston face. To assure the precharge gas pressure will be adjusted for changes in system operating pressure only, and not for mere surges, snubbing restrictions are placed in the means connecting the hydraulic system with the precharge gas adjusting unit.
