More than likely. Mine has never worked correctly, so I learned what was full and what was empty. The plastic floats will sink fairly quickly. Fortunately I had a brass one lying around.

(poor thing needs a little bit of time and a few kind words)
So, you would recommend keeping the brass float from my old sending unit? The tank is dry and has been for months and I remember gas coming out of the float when I pulled the sending unit off the tank.
(Sorry to hijack, but I have a new sending unit coming Thursday from Morris!

If your brass one fits I'd keep it, as csuengr said, the plastic one with the Omix sender are junk.
The Omix one is the only one I see people selling, and they are Not made in the USA.

I have fixed a brass float before with a small butane torch and some solder.

Guess I need to dunk it in some water and locate the hole and get it repaired when the new sending unit comes in.
Thanks for the advice as always!
