Heat shrink connectors and fuel tanks...An explosive Mix?
« on: August 15, 2016, 08:47:11 PM »
Looking for advice on wire connectors to apply on a fuel sending unit? Would prefer not to use heat shrinks that require an open flame... What do you guys suggest? King wire nuts maybe?

Gave up the Bic years ago and use a good heat gun.

Works great.

If you are only using it occasionally, here's a great choice from Michael's (yes, the arts and crap store) - less than $25 and gets the job done:
