can a gas tank float be salvaged?

[Douglas Frank <frank@zk3.dec.com>]

Hi all,

My tank's sending unit's float is about 1/3 flooded.  It's a
sealed piece of plastic and there's no apparent leak, so I don't
understand how the gas got in there-- unless by osmosis!

Anyway, does anyone have any BTDT on how to drain & seal these? 
I'd rather not spring the $75 Spitbits wants for a complete
sending unit!

thanks!
