I would also suggest that testing be done with the pan on first then test after with the pan off as soon as possible.
a little behind in our reading, are we?

i wrapped my sending unit in insulating foam tape a while ago. this LOWERED the temps because i think it was picking up heat from the engine. i have it in the external filter mount, below the battery.
