Jim: Many moons ago someone on The List stated that Ford Part #
COAZ-9202-B was a suitable substitute. It was indicated that this was a
brass float and cost about $4.00. As I said - many moons ago ..... I have
not purchased one - yet - so I can't verify the facts.
I just had the same problem this week. Drilled a small hole in the end,
drained the gas out, soldered up the hole. Could not find any hole or
crack that would have allowed the leak so I may only be good for a short
while. THEN I may go visit my local Ford parts department.
