Garden Tractor fuel gauge
willshak wrote:
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?? Hi, Try to jury rig a metal ball(float). Maybe out of an old carburetor or auto parts store may have something like that for that reason. Some carbs used to have that problem. |
