What will affect the postion of the float in the liquid it sits in is the liquids Specific Gravity.
This also changes with temperature.
But in this case maybe using 25 degrees celcius
SG of fuel is .713. as opposed to water at .997.
Float will sit higher slightly in the liquid qith the higher SG.
In this case will not make a lot of difference as will be constant for liquid being used.
ny thughts.
