Here's a gee-whizz item you're sure to enjoy:
the fuel sender inside the gas tank of your car is not in a spark
proof container. Moreover, it DOES spark. Thought you'd enjoy
learning that!


My fuel sender no longer connects to the rheostat unit, and is in fact just
floating around in there. No sparks. ;-)
The "guage" part is now my odometer.
