I could take some basic ohm readings before and after also.

I can't believe the gauge companies haven't jumped on this. I guess the $ is in selling us gauges not senders.

I think you will find there is not enough "meat" on the small 13mm end of the sensor, BUT you will find what you always want to know what is inside !!!
