I have just made a similar emergency repair and used two part epoxy to paint 
the externals.  The float had cracked and I needed to move the car to its 
winter parking spot.  
 The type I used is  EPO-TEC 301.  This is very "runny" and so provides minimum 
"buildup".  The float weight will be increased a bit and you should accurately 
set your fuel level by measurement, not by spacing the needle lever.
My two cents,  At 12 bucks each, buy new ones!

Regards
