Need Stewart vacuum tank float

[Guest imouttahere]

Would anybody have a Stewart vacuum tank float in good condition that they want to sell?

Repaired is OK, as long as there aren't a lot of holes and it doesn't leak.

Thanks!

I guess nobody has one.

Does anybody know if plastic coating products like Plasti-Dip are impervious to gasoline?

Is is possible to repair a vacuum tank float that has a bunch of pinhole leaks?

Keep in mind it's called a float and it has to.

POR 15 makes a gastank sealer that is impervious to gasoline. They sell it in different sizes. I bought a pint for my float and it worked perfect.

Is your existing float cork or brass? If it's brass fill up your sink and put it in water to see if any bubbles comes out (indicating leaks) If it leaks, get the water out first get a small torch and on LOW flame make the repair with solder. No sealant needed after repairs.

If it's cork, first see if it floats in water! If it does coat it with the gas tank sealant. If it doesn't float it should be easy enough to make a new one. Just make sure the new float is at the same height as the old one.
