gas sending unit float trouble
i have gone thru 3 floats now, they all develop a crack then sink. pissing me off. im wondering if the holder could to tight or something.
not really anything in there for it to hit, unless its slamming up side the tank. anyone have this prob?

Yes, I have had the same trouble. Mine is cracking right in the welded/glued seam. The new ones havenr seemed to last very long. Maybe a few days or so. Im thinking of trying to saughter it next time. Anybody have a plastic one ?

Just use a cork. Works on the Model T for years. Just replaced on in my F$%D. At least with these trucks you don't need to drop the tank.

Mine cracked quite a few years ago and filled w/ gas. I drained it, dried it and fixed the crack with JB-weld. Its still in there and holding its own.
