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.
