I need a float for a D17 fuel gauge . I rebuilt all the linkage but cant find a float that would work. I see you can buy the whole gauge after I rebuilt it. I was thinking going down to the Eau Claire peterbuilt to see if I can get one there. Any help would be great. Thanks, Eric

Someone posted a while back that a model A Ford gas tank float was the same or close enough to work.

Here is a link to a post on a carb float from Oreillys. I picked one up but never got it together to finish it.

I do have to say that the oreilly float is a weird looking thing, but it has a metal piece on it, that I think the rod will slide right through, and it's a carb float that's made out of plastic, so I think it should last indefinately. I had the oreillys guys looking for about 45 minutes for it. They finally gave up and took my number down and called me about 20 minutes after I left and said they found it. If I were you, I would make them find it first before you go there, as it's some oddball part and they had it hiding somewhere in a weird inventory section.

Its not necessarily orignal but my tractors are using cork floats coated with sealall. Large corks can often be bought in good hardware stores. And Sealall keeps gasoline as well as alchohols out of the cork.

I cut the float from a Cavalier pump/float unit in half and now both my D-14 gas gages work again!
As long as the 'correct cops' don't stick their heads in the tanks,everythings fine...lol

Where can Seal All be found? Parts store? I have a really nice original fuel gauge with a cork float that the shellac is coming off. Might be just as easy to recoat it instead of trying to get the kids at O'Really Stupids to find something.

Yeah, I saw your post. I'm thinking that's probably the best way to go. Looks like it's made of something entirely different from cork.

I've bought SealAll at True-Value and Ace hardware stores, and at Wallyworld. Usually in the paint/adhesives section of the hardware store and the automotive department at Wallyworld. Should also be in auto parts stores but I've not looked there.

Thanks for the scoop guys! I bought the seal all this morning at O'Reillys ($3.77) and then I saw Charlies idea and called Old Standard. They have it in stock so I now have one headed my way.

I know by experiance and agree 100% with CTucker!!! I ordered the float for only $4.00 plus shipping from his link and it was a simple slip it on and put it back in!!! I'm talking about the float. His link has the float you want!! Just like original. Ryan
