RE: Tip for making your fuel level sensor last longer

["Clive Liddell" <cliddell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,
Thanks for the heads up...

I would have thought that the sensor tube which is sealed with an O-ring
would be fairly corrosion proof unless the fuel itself introduces the
moisture which then condenses on exposed metal - as you point out.
