that sinking feeling...

The float can be replaced. Most just clip onto the arm. They can also be repaired (the brass soldered ones, that is). Let a gauge
shop do that.

Dennis - I had the same problem with my new sending unit. I had to replace it. My local auto parts house had the part that I needed.

WHEN I GO TO MY AUTO PARTS STORE DO I BRING IT IN WITH ME AND WILL THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS? IF I WANT TO GET MINE FIXED, WHAT IS A GAUGE SHOP?

P.S. IT REALLY SUCKS TO BUY SOMETHING NEW AND HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.

If it's made out of brass, couldn't you just completely dry it out and then just soldier it yourself? Should take minutes to do.

Find the hole and enlarge it a bit. That may allow any liquid to drain. Warming it a bit with a propane torch might help too.

DQ, just goes to show that the mental image you have of someone is sometimes very wrong. I don't think I had a good picture of you in my mind. Now, I do!!!!!!!

Ok...that's more information than I needed to know. :D :p

Every post I read of DQ's now makes me laugh with that avatar. It never seems to get old. :D
