Why do the floats look upside down?

    Is this article wrong? The floats just seem upside down to me.

    Yeah. Seemed backward to me at first too. Didn't help that the PO had them in upside down.

    With the floats pointed down in the bowl there would be a much smaller volume of fuel in the bowl.

    It is only a diagramatical representation not to be taken too literally.

    Thanks guys, I guess its making sense now but its only because I've been staring at them all day.

    The brass round ones would seem to be a better float for these.

    Gee, I wonder if this is why the traffic to the site where I store these has spiked... :D

    Curious: does Safari not have a "save a copy" option for the PDF viewer?
