That's what I found on pulling the float from my '73 GT6, only if anything
there was more gas in it... and no pinhole leaks. Somehow over the years,
fuel just migrates through the plastic.

I'd email John Rossi (JRossi727@aol.com) and buy a snap-in replacement (Jaguar
part, he says). The one he sold me was precisely identical to the original
(except it wasn't half full of gas).

You shouldn't need a sealant. Something's wrong.
