REFLECTOR: Sump fuel sensor gone bad

[Velocity xl]

Fuel softened the Sensor . Model number VP03E manufacture is Electomatic. 
I purchased this so many years ago  I could not tell you what it was made for . 
I am sure at the time it was suppose to be good for fuel but
I have no proof of that now.

  Is that a melted sensor, or fuel turned to varnish?

    Ron,



    Exactly what model of sensor was that?  What material is the fuel-contacting surface made of?

    Got to love Auto fuel ! As you can see from the picture

    just being in the sump for 1 -2 years can cause some real 

    Issues . I do not think it even was touched by the fuel in that time . I would just put in enough fuel to do short runs of the engine

    to test things out. Guess that is why it is called Experimental.

    Has any one else used this as a sump  sensor. If so you might want to check it.
