1920s Gasoline Vacume Tanks???

[Guest]

Does anyone know of a place where I could get a float made for a 1928 Durant gasoline Vacume Tank??<BR>My Model 75 usually runs like a champ, but now the float has hairline cracks and is not "floating" anymore!!<BR>Just thought I would try!! :-)

I had the same touble a few year ago on my 1916 Elgin. It had a Stewart.<BR>One year at Hershey, I went around and bought 5 tank in the swap meet, till I found one that had the same float that was good, just because the outsides don't match, the floats still may be the same, most tanks were in the $5 range, I think I may have given as much as $10 for one of them. if it is a Stewart it shouldn't be hard to find.<P>If you have a JPG of the float send it to me and I'll see if I have one in the pile.
