Any idea how the float came to be punctured and was it metal or plastic ?

I ask because modern fuels containing ethanol can attack various components on the fuel system, carburetor floats being one of them.

I've had a few issues on my classic cars related to modern fuels and I now go through the system replacing any "rubber" hoses and carburetor seals with E10 compatible items.
