The procedure to replace the fuel float on a Ford Fiesta is simple, but it is always advisable to consult an expert, as you will be handling a highly flammable and dangerous liquid. If you have some experience and wish to proceed, the tools you will need are: a tank key and a replacement float.

Once you have removed the tank, use the key to unscrew the old float and carefully extract it. Then take the replacement, ensuring the gasket is in place, and position it inside the tank carefully before re-screwing it with the key.
