    I've run some tests on the new sensor, attached to a Kitfox aluminum header tank. Results are posted in a new thread, here.

    A 1/2" NPT sensor won't fit any of the bungs on the current Kitfox header tank, which means you have to modify the tank or use an additional small tank for the sensor (and add a few more fittings and pieces of hose). If you don't mind all of that, or if you already have the Spruce sensor installed, then there's nothing wrong with it. My preference is for a sensor that doesn't need to touch the fuel and doesn't require extra plumbing.
