YA but its not legal to use on Gas any more the manufacture won't sell it to you if your going to use it on gas. I was going to put it back on Gentry but I had to pass a survey.

I learned that as well, but I figure if it hasn't exploded in the past 25 or so years I'm good. Hell it's got mechanical fuel pressure gauges in it...

wondering how long mine will last??

420hp for ~5yrs, 600hp for ~7yrs then ~550hp the last few years. And another 5yrs from the guy I bought it from. I believe they were original when I opened them up from '86.

C'mon now, that'd be cheating. Dan caught it. It's fuel related.

The sensor on the tank ? For water ? Or tank pressure ? My first guess is water sensor.

Okay, I get it...I think. It's the fuel level sensor...different type than most use. It's a threaded in style like this:

Ok, you get partial credit for noticing the fitting. It doesn't work like the one you showed though. There is no electricity involved and no moving parts. Know how it works?

Extra fitting are great if you need a return in addition to one breaking. I am dying to know. Is a return line not legal?

90viper 12-14-2016 07:17 AM

I used a return on Finney 31 LS (which is for sale)when I owned it. Been working great now for 7 years.
