<<It is possible that splash from the wheel could possibly make its way
around the mid-stub wing rib and possibly to the almost hidden probe end.  I
will look into this and make such a result even less likely.>>

About 6 or 7 years ago, I sealed my VM fuel probe ends with silicone caulk.
I'm pretty sure I did this after reading a posting on the LML warning of the
potential problem of water leakage. It's probably somewhere in the archives.

Seems easy and quick to do. I think everyone with this type of capacitance
probe should do this.
