vitalide don't feel bad. mine is the same here in northern mich. it rarely comes off of 100 when i'm just driving. but when i plow it goes up. i have my sending unit in the pan. but just a word of advise. it is a royal pain in @$$ to weld it in there (i have the same thing as lord tauk has pictured, except i got a steel fitting and welded it in then put my sending unit it). but i got her done and it works like a champ.
