no because is air not liquid
Oil and gas are less dense than water therefore will separate and float.
If you mean the float that measures fuel level, it's in the gas tank.

Yes, gasoline floats on top of water. Here's a school website with a simple explanationand diagrams about why it does float on water: http://water.me.vccs.edu/courses/ENV110/lesson20_2b.htm
AnswerYour gas float has a crack in it gas is getting into the float and it weights down the float so the computer thinks your tank is low on fuel. think of your gas float like float in the toilet bowl....if the float in the toilet bowl has a crack in it. it will stay at the bottom of the tank..same thing with your gas float..itstays at the bottom of the gas tank. Chevy Dealer has the float for $155.AnswerYour gas float has a crack in it gas is getting into the float and it weights down the float so the computer thinks your tank is low on fuel. think of your gas float like float in the toilet bowl....if the float in the toilet bowl has a crack in it. it will stay at the bottom of the tank..same thing with your gas float..itstays at the bottom of the gas tank.

After a few days the fuel tank sensor started working again. Techron cleans the sulphur off the sensor, as advertised, allowing it to pickup an electrical signal and eliminating false or no readings and also shuts off the low fuel light. Worked for me even though I bought a new sensor to install in the tank if this didn't work but it did. Cheap easy fix so far!
Diesel fuel mixes with gasoline.
The only 'gas float' on a 2000 Astro van is part of the fuel level sending unit, located inside of the fuel tank.
the float is a component in a carbureator that meters the amount of fuel in the fuel bowl. when it fills with gas, it shuts off the fuel supply. regulating the level of fuel in the carb.
the 2002 Kia Sportage is fuel injected, it has no fuel float or a carburetor . Now if your referring to the gas tank float ,it is accessed thru passenger rear seat. swing it up and out of the way, you will see a carpet section that will peel up allowing you to see the metal plate. undo the plate and the gas tank access is there. Undo fuel pump electrical connections, undo screws to plate and the fuel pump and gas indicator float will come out. Make sure you do this with battery disconnected and in a well ventilated area. No not in a closed up garage with a gas water heater ! Fumes from gasoline will ignite.
The fuel float will float in water but not fuel because it has a small leak in the float. Water and fuel have difference densities, and the leak is likely small enough to let fuel in, but not water. For an 88 Bronco, the part you are looking for is COAZ-9202-B
Its in the gas tank with the sending unit and fuel pump
it is a float in the gas tank that tells the fuel gauge where to be
