The magnetic washer has fallen off the  float which results in the low oil warning buzzer sounding when the oil tank is full. 
I have pull the float assembly apart.
What glue should I us to attach the washer to the float?
Regards Herd.

Thanks for your response Durban. I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUp7KJG_JWs&t=12s and a number of the 52 responses used JB Weld epoxy. I will get some tomorrow.
After reading the You Tube responses, I get the impression the magnetic washer falling off the float is a regular occurance. It is the 2nd time it has happened to me. The 1st time was under warranty and I did not take much notice of it, just had the local agent sort it. The local agent says it is not repairable and a new oil tank will cost $179 so the $19 investment to purchase JB Weld at Repco seems an attractive alternative.
Regards Herd.
