Is that right ? Perhaps it might be wise to consider some sort of cover over the electronics such that if there was a leakage or spillage of fuel it doesn't go directly down onto those items but is drained off safely somewhere else. Just a thought. David.

I think you guys are making a big deal out of this when it sounds to me like a fella just wants more info. Maybe, like me, he wants to look at things from more than one way. Maybe he wants a broader outlook, a variety of ways to analyze things. > I'm still looking for that static air. He didn't say anything about static air. He can make use of mpg info without static air. Give him a break!
