>>Although it increases the number of pipe connections <<
I find it more worrying that a large vibrating mass (i.e. the sender) is
attached to the engine by a spindly, stress-concentrated 1/8 NPT male
thread. However, there are no documented failures that I know of, so perhaps
I shouldn't worry.
My sender costs USD17 from 'Spruce. So who cares if it fails!
It's remotely mounted.
