Re: Bad brass float

Ethanol dissolves the lead and tin in the solder joint, it also is not compatible with soft metals such as zinc, brass, copper, lead, and aluminum. These metals will degrade or corrode in contact with ethanol and possibly contaminate a vehicle's fuel system.
Many issues with fuel systems components due to ethanol. It's not just the fuel sender floats.
