You know, the kind that has a solid plastic float that operates a flat
screw type axle to turn a needle in the cap showing the amount of fuel left.
These plastic floats seem to allow gas to permeate the float, giving a
less than correct fuel level.
I suppose I can buy a new cap/gauge/float assembly for this particular
tank, but that would only solve the problem for a while until that float
gets heavier.
I wonder if I can paint some sort of �material on the float to make it
more resistant to permeation of the gas?
I know the material has to be non-soluble in gasoline.
Ideas??

Some of the first floats in carbs were made out of cork. Get ya bottle
