    Well I picked up the new sender yesterday,they didn't have
    it in stock(surprise-surprise) but had 3 in the bigger store a couple of suburbs away
    It's amazing how well the gauge works now...

    You are so right, I bet it's now made to a "just" standard. Just good enough to sell. Just good enough for the job!

    You would hope it won't start leaking. How bad are they?

    It won't leak .the thread is a tapered fit.
    But the quality of the can that holds the guts is a lot flimsier & doesn't even have
    Vdo pressed into it,Along with a crappy QC sticker..

    I just pulled a VDO one off my old International tipper. It started leaking out of the sender body. That was an old old VDO one. How flimsy is the body of the new one? That's where it will leak.

    I get up to 110 psi when the motor is cold .
    So if it's going to leak I'll find out soon enough..
