Garden Tractor fuel gauge

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.
