Fuel Sending Unit Float

That style float doesn't spin. see the groove in the other side? the float arm lays in it. the rest of what you said is correct.

If that is an OEM picture then the float the user mention requires a rahter large bushing of sorts. The hole her pic shows is huge conpared to what is shown here.

Ohn yeah PIC 3!! Like Dale said..that style isnt supposed to spin..LMAO. Tell Josh to have his machine shop buddy fashion you a retainer that will cap the end and be fuel resistant as well!! Whatever the option is, keep it light so as not to add any unneeded weight to the float.

Jeep..Dales pics from a few ft away..not inches and exagerated to an extent like hers..

The hole in the float She's showing looks a bit wallowed out to me as well. but I don't think that will matter too much as long as the clip used to retain the float to the arm is large enough to span the opening.

Wallowed perhaps due to being "fixed" by a PO who got into the works.
It would have gotten gouged out by having the wire freely float out of its groove.

Me I check me gas ate every stop and pray I do not run out.

Worked fine for Sissy Hankshaw.

I just slide the float back onto the L shaped arm of the sending unit. Then I wrapped the wire around once and contoured the wire around the float so as not to dig/gouge in to the float. then I used pliers to spin the ends of the wire together to tie it off. Not very scientific but works for me. Important not to use too stiff of a wire so it does not dig into the float.

Bang, done. Onto the next project.

I repaired one on my spare tank not long ago, there was a washer and I recovered it, put it back together and it fit really tight, not trusting it I crimped a small piece of tubing (fishing leader crimps) to it and it works just fine.
