Reply To: Float Seal?

[John Gragg]

Stanley,

Not an expert by any means, the last time I paid any attention to the ingredients in gas was in the late 80s when Union76 was the last gas station where I could get unleaded fuel for my 68 Firebird (400 H.O. motor. 10.75:1 pistons stock from the factory).  That lasted about a year and they too were forced to comply with good ole California EPA laws. So I’m kinda thinkin I can’t get ethanol free gas here in CA. Could be wrong, so I will check.

That said, I will try a few of the suggestions and look into some local airplane hobby clubs. Is there dope out there? Supposedly, but it’s very expensive due to the container sizes from what little I have been able to find. Example, I found a product called “Sig” dope. Went everywhere online looking for it, including Sig itself. “Out of Stock” was the answer everywhere I went.

Gonna keep looking, but also going to dunk my float in a jar of gas tomorrow.

Best Regards,
