Hey all - 



Didn't get a reply from anyone last time I asked, so I'll try again.

Are the nylon bushings (ie: SB437-4) safe to be used in an application

that has them submersed in fuel constantly?  Will they react at all?

Break down?



Thanks

cj

If I remember correctly the Van's capacitance plates that I put in the RV-8A

used the snap bushings to run the wire though the bulkheads and the wire was

wrapped around the vent line.  Quick call to Van's will solve this. For a

belt and suspenders approach you can completely coat the bushing in proseal.

Chris,



The bushings are made from black nylon and are safe for immersion in fuel.

It's probably a safe bet that they will be fine.  However you can always drop a couple in a mason jar of 100LL and put it on the shelf for a while to be sure.  If they don't melt within a day I probably wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks all!  I'll be installing the Skysports capacitance fuel gauge

senders in my tanks as soon as I receive them (two weeks or so).

Hopefully it will be a good alternative to the capacitive senders that

vans doesn't offer

Well, I know Van's uses the snap bushings in the fuel tanks to hold the

vent lines as they go through the tank ribs....  I have not heard of

anyone finding pieces of them in the sump or bottom of the tank.
