[Roadsters] 44PHH-2 Type Q Fuel Overflow Issue

Well, it seems that one of the floats has fallen off the fork, thus 
reducing the flotation to work the valve by 50%.  

Valve itself seems fine.  No crud in the banjo filters or bowl.  
Completely clean, in fact.

The working end of the small mounting tang inserted in the float body 
seems to have corroded/dissolved just below the surface of the float.

Anyone seen this before?  Ethanol in the "new fuel", perhaps?
