No there should not be any fluid in the float. If you have a metal float you
can drill a small hole in each end of the float and get the gas out. Then
solder up the two holes. Then submerge the float in HOT water, you will then
see small bubbles coming from where the original leak was. Solder up these
places and re test.

> If it is fuel, any suggestions on safely repairing the float?
