Hello All,

Trying to track down the float. One in the tank looks fried. All the wires and pins are pretty much toast. Can anyone help point me in the right direction. Looks to be sold out everywhere. Thank you in advance.

Have you tried contacting MaxBMW? Their parts lists shows p/n 62 16 1 459 565 available for $341.03. You might have to wait a couple weeks for a shipment from the Fatherland.

Kind of pricey, but as you have found, they are getting scarce and suffer greatly from neglect.

Maybe there's a business for someone out there in building and selling replicas of these NLA parts.
