See Faulty Parts report FT-116 (bad brass floats).

Since the parts are slightly different in dimensions and weight, they have a bit different density and buoyancy. An hour of calculation reveals that you may want to raise the float arm about 1/16-inch higher when you install this particular plastic float. They did a pretty good job making the plastic density similar to the brass float, so they didn't need to make the plastic one bigger.
