Hi Guys,



I've seen a post on some forums that using water to test your fuel tanks 

will ruin the Zenith fuel senders (they didnt say why it would), and now 

I've seen a builder's website where he used water to test for leaks in 

his tanks and check the senders.



So, will water damage the senders ?



Thanks in advance,

John,



 	  Quote: 	
		  From personal experience... I used water to leak test the tank and test the 

fuel senders.. the problem: you will get erroneous readings on your ohm 
	


meter while testing the sender unit... the water in the aluminum tank along 

with the sender submerged distorts the meter resistance reading (depending 

on the salt/other impurities in the water)  - so you cannot accurately 

determine the sender resistance at empty and full levels.  I have no 

knowledge of potential damage to the unit.



Also, do not forget another important test - put your fuel cap on while 

draining the tank from the outlet to confirm that the cap is indeed venting 

properly...
