I used this float to repair a mechanical fuel gauge on a 1929 Chevrolet Coupe. This float was a perfect solution to replace the cork float that became saturated and heavy and would not read correctly. The fit was perfect on the float arm.

I ordered these to replace the original cork floats on my ranger boats fuel tanks sending units. Just a little smaller then the original corks but worked perfectly and got the units back to working order.

It replaced the old cork float in my 30 yr old boat. Its a 1/2 shorter , but doesnt seem to make a difference. The Tank is 35US Gallons. Be careful of the hole diameter of the float, mine barely fit on the float arm

This is the only place that I found a replacement float for my Seaswirl boat gas tank. The float is about a 1/4 diameter smaller than my old one and about 1/2 shorter. Unfortunately, I was not able to install it before I left for the season. Im hoping it provides enough buoyancy. The only other option I had (including Amazon) was to by a whole new sending unit.

Just happens to be a perfect replacement for early Cj5 jeeps with the tank under the seat. Old cork floats were shellac coated, ethanol fuels dissolved this. Plastic float is a perfect replacement, and the price was remarkably low. Happy fix.
