Hey all -

Didn't get a reply from anyone last time I asked, so I'll try again.
Are the nylon bushings (ie: SB437-4) safe to be used in an application
that has them submersed in fuel constantly? Will they react at all?
Break down?

Thanks
cj

If I remember correctly the Van's capacitance plates that I put in the RV-8A
used the snap bushings to run the wire though the bulkheads and the wire was
wrapped around the vent line. Quick call to Van's will solve this. For a
belt and suspenders approach you can completely coat the bushing in proseal.

Chris,

The bushings are made from black nylon and are safe for immersion in fuel.

It's probably a safe bet that they will be fine.  However you can always drop a couple in a mason jar of 100LL and put it on the shelf for a while to be sure.  If they don't melt within a day I probably wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks all! I'll be installing the Skysports capacitance fuel gauge
senders in my tanks as soon as I receive them (two weeks or so).
Hopefully it will be a good alternative to the capacitive senders that
vans doesn't offer Smile

Well, I know Van's uses the snap bushings in the fuel tanks to hold the
vent lines as they go through the tank ribs.... I have not heard of
anyone finding pieces of them in the sump or bottom of the tank.
