Default Check that it still floats

Hi Jordan

As somebody mention, I think in a thread in the last year, that after sealing a cork float make sure it still floats. They had dried a cork float then coated it in gas tank sealer got the entire thing reassembled in the tank in the truck to discover that the sealed cork no longer was buoyant in gasoline.

This made me check float assemblies I rebuilt using brass floats before I put them in the tank.

Cheers Phil
