sorry rizzo....  i dont know anything about sender units, hence not discussing it.

cheers for the link vanwolf.. 
have you got any of the finished product?

i will have to get under and have a look..  been working on the van all week..  still concentrating on the engine atm..  looks like a burned valve or worse..  so rocker covers coming off in the very near future.  i hoping it aint a lobe on the camshaft..  otherwise mr crower will need a visit.

Hey fellers I was reading on one of my boat racing forums about makeing reserve fuel tanks out of PVC pipe like I made my water tank Whats your thoughts on this & what glue would you use Would be real easy to make a reserve tank to hold a few extra literes Cheers Reid

i dont know for sure, but wouldn't it react with the petrol? and wouldnt take much to rupture it either.

PVC pipe will soften with any aromatic hydrocarbon i.e. petrol, MEK etc. MEK is the base solvent that you use in the pipe glue.
If in doubt, take a small piece of pipe and soak it in petrol for a minute or two and pull  it out ans see how strong it will be......not.

I wanted to build a small tubular mixing tank and tested several plastics by putting a strip in a jar of petrol. the strips stayed straight for up to a month and then either very quickly went soft or completely dissolved. Do your homework!
