Hi Bob,
Yes I had have had to seal one of these floats in the past. The float had a
small pin hole where the plastic joint had given way after many years of
being submerged in petrol. The product I used was RTV silicon sealant
(nicknamed elephant snot). This is the stuff used to hold fishtanks
together.
I had that car for 5 years afterwards and never had another problem.

Subject: Fuel gauge floats
I have a couple of fuel gauges (Some from a Spit, TR6 & a Gt6. All have
a little fuel in the plastic floats. Does anyone carry replacement
floats? If not, anyone had success sealing on old one? If so what did
you use?
