Fuel at the pump is 10% ethanol by law. Right now gasoline is going for an average of $3.75 to $4 US per gallon. If you want fuel without ethanol you can buy high octane racing gas, but it's $10 per gallon and it is supposed to be illegal in street vehicles.<div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1527639923249">Mike M<br id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1527639753862"><br><div id="ymail_android_signature"><a href="https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_AndroidEmailSig__AndroidUsers&af_wl=ym&af_sub1=Internal&af_sub2=Global_YGrowth&af_sub3=EmailSignature">Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android</a></div> <br> <blockquote style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;"> <div style="font-family:Roboto, sans-serif; color:#6D00F6;"> <div>On Tue, May 29, 2018 at 4:43 PM, John Rowe</div><div><john@jtkarowe.com.au> wrote:</div> </div> <div style="padding: 10px 0 0 20px; margin: 10px 0 0 0; border-left: 1px solid #6D00F6;"> <div id="yiv9385715354"><style>#yiv9385715354 #yiv9385715354 --

It will fill with gas in about two years and you will be doing this again. All you have to do is buy a brass float and swap it out for the plastic one and sleep well at night. It just snaps right in. The brass float is a Ford part no. COAZ-9202-B. You can find them on eBay, Amazon, Summit Racing and even the Ford dealer. Ethanol does not eat brass.</p></div><div id="yiv9385715354yMail_cursorElementTracker_1527623676790"><div class="yiv9385715354yqt2537022558 yQTDBase" id="yiv9385715354yqt60223"><p class="yiv9385715354MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;">Mike M.</p><div id="yiv9385715354ymail_android_signature"><p class="yiv9385715354MsoNormal"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_AndroidEmailSig__AndroidUsers&af_wl=ym&af_sub1=Internal&af_sub2=Global_YGrowth&af_sub3=EmailSignature">Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android</a></p></div></div><blockquote style="margin-left:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:15.0pt;"><div class="yiv9385715354yqt2537022558 yQTDBase" id="yiv9385715354yqt81354"><p class="yiv9385715354MsoNormal"> </p><div><div><p class="yiv9385715354MsoNormal"><span style="">On Tue, May 29, 2018 at 12:46 PM, Tim Davis BN7</span></p></div><div><p class="yiv9385715354MsoNormal"><span style=""><tld6008@mchsi.com> wrote:</span></p></div></div></div><div style="border:none;border-left:solid #6D00F6 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 15.0pt;margin-top:7.5pt;"><div id="yiv9385715354"><div><div class="yiv9385715354yqt2537022558 yQTDBase" id="yiv9385715354yqt52070"><div><p class="yiv9385715354MsoNormal">I had the powdery residue all over mine.

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?</span></p></div><div id="yiv9385715354yui_3_16_0_1_1527606631714_5718"><p class="yiv9385715354MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="color:black;">Mike MacLean</span></p></div></div></div><div id="yiv9385715354DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><div class="yiv9385715354yqt2537022558 yQTDBase" id="yiv9385715354yqt41388"><p class="yiv9385715354MsoNormal"> </p><table class="yiv9385715354MsoNormalTable" border="1" cellpadding="0" style="border:none;border-top:solid #D3D4DE 1.0pt;"><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" width="55" style="width:41.25pt;border:none;padding:9.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt;"><p class="yiv9385715354MsoNormal"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail"><span style="text-decoration:none;"><img id="yiv9385715354ymail_ctr_id_-667382-34" border="0" width="46" height="29" src="https://ipmcdn.avast.com/images/icons/icon-envelope-tick-green-avg-v1.png"></span></a></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" width="470" style="width:352.5pt;border:none;padding:9.0pt .75pt .75pt .75pt;"><p class="yiv9385715354MsoNormal" style="line-height:13.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;">Virus-free. <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail"><span style="color:#4453EA;">www.avg.com</span></a></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p class="yiv9385715354MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="yiv9385715354MsoNormal"> </p></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div> </div> </blockquote></div>
