Ever seen a float cork this bad?
Just replaced this with a neoprene float. Didn't know they could get this bad.

I don't remember his name but he was building brass floats. I believe from California. They are the best. Neoprene floats are fairly heavy.

Yup, just did that job.
They sink to the bottom. Doesn’t get worse than that. |

Well, If you floated in a tub of gasoline for 90 years you wouldn’t look to great either.

Re: Ever seen a float cork this bad?
The problem with a brass float is that with the tanks full the float will hit the top of the tank and make a nice little tapping noise.
