For the last 4 years, I have been using an old champagne cork to replace the metal float on my car's sender unit, which, when removed looked more like colander.
Now, however, the gauge has once again stopped reading correctly, the reason being that the cork has become petrol logged (I didn't know cork would do this!)
Amongst my bit and pieces, I have found a new plastic float from the later type Smiths sender unit which would be an ideal replacement if I can find a way of attaching it to my sender's arm.
Gluing it along the lines of where the original float was soldered to the arm would be the ideal solution, but most glues don't like petrol.
Can anyone think of, or recommend a glue that is petrol resistant?
