I drilled the hole, emptied the old float, and re-sealed it. Looked as if
it would be OK.
I was heartbroken to find it filling up again a couple months later. I got
my replacement float from RD also.
So, my advice is to save time and replace the darn thing -- it should last
at least twenty more years!
