@Stapl3 This picture has been on my mind since it got posted. I mean no offense, but I am curious what happens if that solder job fatigues from vibration over time? Since there is no plastic physically holding the wire in place, it will happen eventually right? That's how solder joints work, no?
So when it separates with current flowing through it, will it have enough energy to arc as the wire falls away from the terminal? It will be in a liquid filled gasoline/ethanol tank, which is not easy to ignite without the right circumstances, but I just do not know enough about electronics submersed in flammable liquids to say this was a good idea... Is there more to your setup I am not understanding?
Does anybody else have any thoughts on this? I know we have some EE guys on here right?
