As suspected, the plastic float was filled with gasoline. Ethanol! While replacing the plastic float for brass and the cork gaskets for Viton type gaskets, I also swapped out the sending unit top cover cork gasket with a Viton type using Hylomar AF to seal things up. The big surprise came when I found the rheostat cavity full of gasoline. Must have entered through the hole in the sending unit body for the float lever. Anyone have experience with this? Should I be concerned? I remember the original sending unit I removed form the Bugeye tank was full of a white powdery residue around the rheostat like it had also been filled with gasoline. Anyone have experience with this?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yiv7788951441yui_3_16_0_1_1527606631714_5718"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'>Mike MacLean<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div id=yiv7788951441DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellpadding=0 style='border:none;border-top:solid #D3D4DE 1.0pt'><tr><td width=55 style='width:41.25pt;border:none;padding:9.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail" target="_blank"><span style='text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=46 height=29 id="ymail_ctr_id_-667382-34" src="https://ipmcdn.avast.com/images/icons/icon-envelope-tick-green-avg-v1.png"></span></a><o:p></o:p></p></td><td width=470 style='width:352.5pt;border:none;padding:9.0pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:13.5pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#41424E'>Virus-free. <a href="http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail" target="_blank"><span style='color:#4453EA'>www.avg.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
