I'm trying to figure out what you guys are talking about. If it is a Type IV FI Air Cooled Engine in a Vanagon it just screws into a threaded port in the head that is a blind hole. Absolutely no chance for a leak since there is no flow of anything or pressure from anything at that port. That goes hand in hand with it being the Cylinder Head Temp sensor that goes in the drivers side head. I'm also not familiar with any Temp II sensor, just a Temp sensor. I'm thinking that you guys are discussing some weirdo sender / sensor for a water pisser. Stan Wilder
