ok heres my dilemma just got back from sydney international airport from picking up a friend, now i know your not suppose to pick up passengers from the departure section.

But! today is the queens birthday public holiday and it was 8am in the morning there was hardly any cars/passengers at the departure terminals so i told my mate to wait for me at the departure section since it would be nice and quick and saves me from paying $5 from just driivng in and driving out of the aiport car park.

and i only stopped for 1 min in total, stop pick up passenger and away i go and as i was leaving this lady(dressed as airport security/parking inspector) looked over to me and i have a feeling she wrote down my number plate, well she looked over to my car a few times and she wrote something down on her notepad,

now what im worried about is can they send you a fine in the mail? and what proof has she got off me picking up a passenger? and also i thought the airport is privately owned, can they even possible enforce their own law onto the public?

anyway i just hope the fine they send isnt gonna be some crazy amount.

im pretty sure you can be sent a fine

my dads been driving taxis and hire cars for 30 years now...

he always gets fines sent via mail for stopping in the wrong parts of the airport...

might be different rules for taxis and hire cars...but im pretty sure you can get fined in a private vehicle...

i say dont worry stress about it...

you can only wait i guess.

Her word vs yours. A parking inspector vs a civilian. No different to any other parking infringement. Plus, being an airport, there's probably security cameras everywhere if they want to get anal about it.

thought the airport is privately owned, can they even possible enforce their own law onto the public?

Publicly-used but privately owned land can apply to get exemptions to issue infringements. The airport, being as big as it is, could easily obtain one.

They could also make it a "term and condition" of entry onto their property that you abide by their rules or suffer a financial penalty. At which point it becomes a battle between your lawyers and theirs about how enforceable it is....

I'm at International Departures fairly often as my G/F works there. I've only had good experiences with the parking people there. They seem helpful and friendly enough but are strict about the rules they're enforcing. I know for a fact you can get a fine for picking up passengers at Departures, as can you even at the Domestic terminal.

Down to their disgression I guess. Just like how I got a $132 fine last week for not parking parrallel with the traffic. Such a harmful thing to the council I'm sure...

you quite possibly have a find coming in the mail. yes they can fine you, and yes they can send it to you in the mail, and if you were breaking the rules it's quite possible they will send you one. it sucks but that's just the way it is. obey the rules, and if not accept that you can and will get fined if they catch you.

Its about traffic flow, common sense and revenue. Nothing more.

Here's why;

You had a choice of paying $5 or doing something and risking a fine.

You didnt pay the $5 and parked (in their eyes) illegally.

Now you're regretting not paying the $5.

So, the airport managers are "hedging their bets" so to speak, that most people wont risk a fine and will just pay the $5. Which in most cases, they will. This of course is a massive income stream for the site, and its something that will be around for quite some time, until they change it to $6, then eventually $7 etc

You could of course catch a cab, but come on, as if there's a chance that will cost less than $5

Just pay the $5, its easier that way.

Not being a dickhead - just calling it as i see it :P

as the law states you are aloud to pick up and set down passengers where no parking signs are(not sure about no stopping tho). know at the airport they make up there on signs which are not rta/gov approved for unsuspecting people who they can throw a fine at and make more money and also send them to the carparks to make money that way too. i would just wait see if you get a fine. if you do, do some research and take them to court most case you will get off. go back to the airport take photos of where you parked showing signs etc. if they try and get you for taking pics tell them what your doing and they can't do anything about it.

here's a link that might explain something

You will more than likely get a fine in the mail soon. You are only allowed to drop off on the Departures level and pick-up's are now forced into the Macquarie Bank money pit :banana: ( the car park ).

If you're thinking of fighting it, read the fine details carefully and remember that you're taking on Macquarie Bank.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
