Paul, Randall - I've been looking. I found pictures of the Omix-ADA
Fuel Level Float Part # 17729.01 for Jeeps. It may work, but I
can't seem to find any stores in the region that stock it. May just
need to order one to try it. I saw the brass one for the Mustang
(FM-EF005B or <span class="a-list-item">C0AZ-9202B</span>), but
also saw a comment that the groove was too big for use on a
Spitfire. Looks like Ford uses a thicker wire. May try and take
the sender to a Ford dealer parts department and see if they have it
and it fits.<br>
<br>
I've checked TRF, Moss, and Spitbits and can't find the float. I
also looked at my GT6 parts catalog and don't see a part number for
the float.<br>

If you immerse it in a pan of hot water, the leak should show as
a stream of bubbles. Continuing to gently heat it should
eventually drive off the liquid fuel. Let it cool (and suck air)
before trying to seal the leak.<br>
<br>
I don't have my notes handy, but ISTR someone saying there is a
Ford part that will work. Older car, might possibly have been a
Mustang II (but probably not).<br>

<pre class="k9mail">Is there a way to get gas out of a fuel tank float??? Picture should be
attached.?? I can't see any cracks.?? I tried to squeeze for float, but it
is firm.?? Car is a 1973 GT6 Mk III.
Took a look because the car will run out of gas while the gauge still
shows 1/4 tank.?? I would have expected the fuel gauge to behave the
opposite with gas in the float, so maybe I have several things going on.
Thanks,
Brian
