I know people who have played with these kind of ideas in the past, and so to say but they dont work very well. A similar design was done by an old friend and he lost control of the car due to lack of range.
For an antenna to work at its full potential it must be fully extended. as an example, when your in a car and listening to the radio, is the antenna extended or down? There is one thing you can do that does work but still not as good as it being fully extended is to use the following "ladder" design (see attachment)
This keeps the wire in the body and still gives good range.

Bloody hell I'm silly ! Now not only do I have to buy another antenna... but I have to thread the bastard through again !
I started thinking why the hell there'd be aerials if we didn't need em !
Why do I bother ?!
Aaah well... there's a lesson for all of ya !

Nothing is stupid until proven so. It was a good idea, believe me - i thought of doing it too! Just do go jumping to conclusions until you test it and prove it works. (ive been nabbed in the past )
anyway, keep the ideas flowing!.
btw, im in the process of building an onboard fuel gauge but with a difference........it transmits a signal to a hand piece (which could be small enough to install inside transmitter (maybe) or attach to the side or leave it with your pit man) with a low fuel light. Its an idea ive been working on for awhile, they are a few on the market but mine will be simple, tiny and best of all - CHEAP!
i'll post up my progress soon.

Assuming your buying locally (Australia) the cheapest Ive seen is $439.00 at Newcastle Model Autosports, However Nitrodave may well have one at a better price.

wat bout your S for sale squizzy?
dave i was thinking bout your idea
how are you making the sensor.... i was thinking that you might use probes... but then i thought is it wise to send a current thru nitro?
and with the fuel sloshing around how will u get a accurate read out?
