That looks like it must be a type of float for a pressure vessel like I have seenin the natural gas industry.I would expect it to be pretty heavy for use asa float in a gas tank. but for sure at 750# working pressure it shouldn't collapse!I do appreciate all the ideas on floats. I am thinking I'm going to holdout for some type of brass float because I am afraid that Cork could start tocrumble and block the flow. but with a good finger strainer in the tank I doubtthat would be a problem. thanks for all the great ideas.RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2009 23:01:10 -0400
