Question for Weber Experts

While rebuilding my 40IDA's today I noticed on top of one of the floats there is a small dent (half size of an pencil eraser), no hole, should I change it or is it ok?

Check for leaks by putting into bowl of warm water and check for escaping bubbles. If the shape is generally OK then reuse it.

Like quick said if there is no leaks on the float then is fine to reuse, the dent is on the top and won't affect the float level at all. I've seen a lot worse

Hope this helps
