Re: Science and stuff...

Its not the chrome in stainless that is magnetic, it is the ferritic component of the alloy that is magnetic.

I bought a tank and sender for my 72 replaced the crap float with a plastic on from (rock auto) a jeep. threw away the old one, paid shipping(more than the float itself) on the new one, paid for the new one. all that to ensure it worked, sold the truck befor it was all done but no need to test and trouble shoot, just replace it and forget it.

fuel only needs to conduct electricity not efficiently to initiate the process. Thats the reason why everything in site in grounded when refueling aircraft. fuel conducts electricity. some senders measure the resistance to conducting electricity between two probes to read fuel levels. So fuel does conduct electricity.
