Re: [T3] Fuel Sending Unit...


Never seen one myself, but I've not made a close study of early Type 3s.
It could be they feared corrosion between the dissimilar metals.

I once (25 yrs ago?) made the mistake of fitting an aluminium battery clamp
to my 6V Beetle; one week later I couldn't understand why I couldn't get it
to start.  A voltmeter showed the 6 Volts I expected, but still nothing
moved.   When I found a lamp wouldn't light between the clamp and negative,
but it would from battery pole to pole, all became clear.  That was when I
found you can have Volts without Amps.

Has anyone ever seen this copper ground strap? It was just a tiny "U"
shaped strap with a hole in each end so it could slip around the
gasket allowing one of the bolts to pass through each end, once on
each side of the rubber gasket.
