The capacitive sensor plates are all installed and wired. Electrical continuity has been verified between the two plates and the center conductor of the connector, and the outside of the connector is grounded well to the tank structure.
I’m going to let everything dry up nicely, and then come back in a few days and give every inch of the interior a close inspection and cleaning… because the next step is to seal the rear baffle on. Once that rear baffle is in place, if I did my job well, I will never see the inside of these tanks again!
Do you worry about the wires in those tanks withstanding structural flex, vibration, large pressure and temperature changes?
Are these conditions well considered?
Hey Billy.
I am absolutely concerned about vibration and those wires moving around. They are sealed in the tank, and the only way to repair them if something happens to them is to cut the tank open.
That’s why I’ve got the wires wrapped around the vent tube, and have them prosealed to keep them from moving at all. The pressure and temperature shouldn’t bother the wires at all. They are mil-spec tefzel wires.
