     Thom,
     You can use a cork instead. You may want to shellac it. Old cars used 
     to use corks; they don't leak either.

     .....found that the float had a leak and was full of gasoline and
     therefore, not surprisingly, not floating.  I see where the Roadster
     Factory sells the whole sender unit, but not the float alone, which is
     all I need.
     
     1)  Does anyone know where I could order just the float
     
     2) better yet, has anyone ever repaired a float.  There is just
     a little whole in it, where it is held in place by the loop arm.
     Anyone have a recommendation on a bonding material that I could 
     repair the whole with?..............
