[Healeys] Fuel Tank Sending Unit Float?

[David Nock]

Drill a hole in each end of the float to get the gas out of the  
float. The solder the holes shut. Then put the float in hot water and  
you will see a small stream of bubbles where the leak is. Remove from  
the water and solder the leak. Put back in the hot water and re test.
