<p>I would not be to worried about that. For a spark you would need
a relatively high voltage. That would be more likely without the
capacitor. A capacitor is often used to prevent sparking (e.g in
the distributor or petrol pump). If there is a spark it will be
inside the sender unit which will eliminate problems and the
mixture inside the tank will probably be to saturated to ignite
anyway.</p>

<div>Don't do it. Petrol will ignite if sufficient energy is
applied. A capacitor could provide such energy.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Questions for the tech type
super-gurus.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">See the attached article, something I
picked up on the internet &/or from this list.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve finally got round to doing it
and have bought a pair of super-capacitors (SC), below:</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The article infers to me, at least,
that the + terminal of the SC is wired directly to the
same terminal connection on the gauge as the wire from
the tank sender unit. The – terminal is earthed. How
does that system work? Won’t the tank’s fluctuating
signal, for want of a better word, simply bypass the SC
and carry on flickering the needle??</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And, assuming I ever get the wiring
sorted out, will the SC get hot? Mine has a metal case
and I’ve had to thoroughly insulate it. I have visions
of the fuel gauge working nicely until the insulation
catches fire………</p>
