The plastic float came off the gas tank level sender and was banging around in there. I successfully fished out the float. I'm going to have to pull the tank and remove the sender unit to reinstall the float. What I can't figure out is what holds the float on the rod? In the schematics I've viewed, a clip or something similar isn't shown. I'm assuming that I'll need a new gasket for the sender but am unsure if there is a retainer clip that I'll also need. Thanks for the help.

Does it look like this setup from eBay? I’d guess the rod snaps in a slot in float ..and maybe epoxied..
but I’ve yet to investigate !

Not a retainer clip as such is used. The float rod is round.....but flattened where it exits the float... A very thin washer is (normally) held in place between the float and the flattened rod end. Easy fix.....a thin washer..with hole just big enough to slip over flattened end... You could squeeze the washer so hole is now oval and no way to come off.....or....couple of wraps of locking wire....with or without washer.....you will be good.
The rubber gasket.......really is durable. I have re used some with no bad results. You might be lucky there too.
