A spare fuel pickup foot, or "showerhead" came with my truck when I bought it. I was not at all interested in using it to fix my fuel tanks, as they seem prone to failure. Instead I am sticking it in this mason jar of diesel in order to see how these things react to the ultra low sulfur diesel.
I am making this thread mostly to keep track of how long the showerhead has been soaking in the diesel, periodically tampering with it too see how well the material is holding up. I understand being stationary in the mason jar does not replicate what is going on in the tank, so any cheap and easy ideas to help make this experiment more realistic are welcome.
I figure if the showerhead grows soft and can break apart in my fingers under these conditions, then it surely will inside our fuel tanks as fuel sloshes around.
