The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Neoprene Gas Float Too Long, Hole Too Wide

the phenolic float is longer as you mentioned.. i slice a line on the end on half of the float with a hacksaw blade so it slides on the wire further.. then you will be able to catch the retainer...
this will not effect the buoyancy.

i have squeezed the end of the wire in a vice to mushroom it after installing the washer
