Yep Doc you are right, k.i.s.s. put it in the pan & call it good esp as I think you need expensive/diff fitting(s) to get it in the a cooler line & in contact w the fluid. I do put the sender in the side of the pan rather than protrude from the bottom & need to pick the right place on the side so no interference w the VB EDIT the side doesn't drain as completely as the bottom but gets enough out so the pan can come off to ch the filter/adj bands (always a good idea) WO spillage Last edited by RapidRobert; 04/04/11 10:27 PM. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
