Default Cork or Brass Floats

Hi Jordan

First, great work I'm enjoying see and reading your progress.

Now to your next step the fuel gauge sender units are they Cork or Brass Floats? Reason I ask is that I have recently had to replace the cork floats on my CMPs and M5 generator they all sank. Just can't count on cork only been sitting in gas for 70 years.

Went over to brass floats.

In part I think it is the changes in gasoline which is helping it saturate the cork.

Cheers Phil
