Some of the plastic tanks have a little lip on the inside edge of the fill spout that you need to trim so the newer floats will fit. Just be careful so the trimmings don't fall into the gas tanks.

I stuffed a rag in the fill spout and with a very sharp knife cut the inside edge with about a 45 degree taper.

I have had to do this on 2 tanks so far and the new gas gauge/cap work just fine.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
