DOES IT FLOAT YOUR BOAT, ER, CARB?
Oct 7th
Manufacturer of the SU Carb, Burlen Fuel Systems has introduced a new range of StayUp® Floats for the carburettors it services. The old plastic-type ones can become brittle over time and the introduction of E10 fuel could really cause them problems.
The StayUp® Floats, on the other hand, are resistant to E10 and produced from military-spec closed-cell plastic that means they are also puncture-proof. This material was specified for military use by the original S.U. Carburettor Company for military applications in the eighties.
Prices vary depending on the carburettor but you can find out more by calling 01722 412 500 or visit More >
