Kees,
Thanks for the info. My float actually is leaking from the very end where
there is a seam and a mold injection site, if I said that right. I can
drill a hole in the plastic and let the gasoline out, but I was wondering
what I would use to seal the hole that would be impervious to gasoline.
Since this will be a spare, which I hope I will never need, I would like to
try and seal it, if nothing more than for grins.
Mel
