    I wonder if a small current could be run up a couple of bare wires and use the fluid for a variable resistor.....without blowing up the tank that is.....which would be bad....but cool....once....
    My guess it a 10KV pulse should be enough to do the job.

    Well, at least then you'd know how much fuel was left in the tank....

    None....

    'cause there wouldn't be any tank left...

    I'm thinking more like the copper type so it can be soldered to:

    Default My 2 cents

    Copper adhesive backed foil tape is available from any supplier of art glass, Tiffany glass, leaded glass supplier.
    If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.
    .
    Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves
    .
    There simply is no "Happy Spam" If you do it you will disappear from this forum.
