Fuel Gauge Float Sunk
I bought a new fuel gauge cap for my '87 EZ GO and the float sank after 3 weeks. Called up the vendor and they sent me a new one out free of any charges.
I have no reason to believe that this one will last any longer than the previous one. Is there anything I can coat the float with to prevent this? Here is the cap I purchased: Thanks, Jeff |

STRANGE wouldn't have any idea on this one. Did the float just absorb the fuel ?? Hope some one has an answer for this one. Good Luck

Re: Fuel Gauge Float Sunk
if you coat it it will change weight and cause lower fuel reading .. really weird the other sank .. is it hollow plastic ?

Re: Fuel Gauge Float Sunk
Not sure what it's made of. Since everyone seems surprised at this maybe I just got a bad one. If no one else has seen a problem with these I guess I'll stick this one in and see what happens.
Thanks, Jeff |

I ordered 2 of those for my 88. The first jammed up, the second has worked fine ever since. And I could probably fix the first. I think it got bent at some point.

Re: Fuel Gauge Float Sunk
Well the other one they sent me worked fine all summer until last weekend. It has sunk also. Where are you guys buying yours?
I premix my fuel, is the oil causing a problem? I doubt it because everybody here mixes there's too. I am lost and gun shy now. Regards, Jeff |
