I just got a package of goodies from DMCH... H = Houston? now Humble? eh? Anyway, I got their new $129 fuel sender and am very impressed with it. Did I install it yet? Heck no. I took the thing apart right away to see how it works. :-) Besides, my daily driver is about 2 more weeks away from being drivable again anyway. This sender is amazing. It's almost solid state. The bane of all other fuel senders to date is that they have electrical contacts exposed to fuel where they corrode and rot. This one has a float with magnets (?) inside that are sensed by a sealed inner tube. Nothing electrical touches the fuel. It appears so well made that to install anything else would be a waste of time. The design of this one should make it many more times reliable & durable. Considering the market, they could have gotten away with charging much more for it. The only thing that puzzles me is how the fuel gets in through the bottom. I suppose the pieces fit loose enough together that fuel flows quickly enough through. If silt ever accumulated inside, it might plug up. But it would take a really long time for that to happen. If any of you want to take one apart, hold the big screw slot on the bottom still while unscrewing the outer tube from the top of the sensor. The two little screws on the bottom do nothing but fill holes. I don't see why they even have them there unless maybe they used them to insert rods to hold the float at certain levels while they calibrated it. But then who knows?
