"New to this site, I have a problem with the cork float on the sending unit on the tank. It doesn't float anymore, it as absorbed to much fuel over time and is not boyant anymore, I have taken the float out and it is drying out, I would like to reseal the cork with something to prevent the gas from soaking into it. I was thinking maybe a varnish? I have not been able to find a replacement cork, only the whole sending unit, Any ideas on what I should do and what I could use to reseal the cork? Thanks"
 
Plastic float or wine bottle c

Plastic float or wine bottle cork with thin coat of epoxy or other fuel proof coating?

Don't know how big of a cork / float you need but one should not be hard to find.
Old snowmobile or lawn tractor fuel guage float?
Home building supply store may have something for lawn tractors that could work.
