Which Canton pan are you using? This is Canton's 15-680 9 quart pan, and the sender bung is much higher than the bung on my pan. I suppose it could become exposed if the
oil level wasn't high enough and oil wasn't draining back fast enough.

Here's my pan, you can see the sender bung low on the front driver's side:
