Is there any way to stop the noise from the fuel float in my gas tank. 70 F100 ranger xlt and obviously gas tank is in the cab. So any time you hit a bump all you hear is the float scraping the tank.
Mine does the same thing when it's below half a tank. I pulled the float and tried to bend the arm slightly, but it still does it. I need to try again. I think there's supposed to be a rubber boot on the float to prevent noise.

Never seen or heard of any such thing. The in-cab fuel tank sender (D7TZ-9275-G replaced C1TZ-9275-K) is the same 1961/66 F100/700 & 1967/77 F100/750.
I've owned 3 trucks with this sender and I sold dozens of these sending units when I was a parts guy. Not one had a rubber boot on it. And I never heard a noise from the float either.
This is the factory TSB that fully explains the field fix.

So "NumberDummy" does: rubber boot (Part No. C7TZ-9A175-A, Class AG) still exist?
This part number is not listed in any Ford truck parts catalog. No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any, none on ebay either.
I am not familiar with this 'fix' even though I worked the back (shop) parts counter for most of my 35 years (1962/97) as a parts guy.
The 'fix' covers all 1965/68 trucks with in-cab fuel tanks, which is odd when you consider the sending unit was the same 1961/76 (C1TZ-9275-K), being replaced in 1977 (D7TZ-9275-G).
The 18 gallon in-cab tank was the same 1961/69 (C1TZ-9002-J). It was replaced in 1970 with the 19 1/2 gallon in-cab tank (D0TZ-9002-A).
I've removed several sending units that had the boot on it. My 67 had the annoying rattle noise that the boot was designed to correct. I suppose one could be fabricated out of larger diameter heat shrink tubing and shrunk down to a tight fit.
I'd want to make sure of the vulcanizing (don't think I'd trust the "Self-Vulcanizing" claim), since I wouldn't want any of the tape to plug the exit from the fuel tank.
Don't think I'd want to bake a plastic float... would have to be metal.
