I've always been told that the way to make the sensing element of an O2 sensor last is to seal it away to minimize contact with air. This is third hand, so I don't know the source, but... A friend of mine just came back from DEMA and said that he was told that the proper method was to keep the sensor in a humid environment (a dive bag for example). Don't bother sealing the sensor away. Supposedly the moisture keeps the sensor head from drying out and oxidizing. This same person told my friend that his sensors typically lasted 3 years with this treatment. Anybody have any thoughts to offer on proper care and feeding of O2 sensors? Is this a valid method or is this a good way to ruin an expensive sensor? What is the best way to make a sensor last? Tim Taylor taylor@ru*.ne* Great Lakes Shipwreck Festival coming up 2/24/96.
