Default Re: Gas gauge floats

The neoprene floats work well and cost less than the brass floats. It's made from a closed cell material, so when you have to notch it some for the float to slide on far enough to reinstall the small brass washer, no harm is done.

I used cork on my float when I restored my guage about 15 years ago and it's still working fine. I always try to keep the tank full and this will keep the cork from drying out, although the coating should do that anyway.
