Can the gas tank sending unit brass float be resoldered? I have one with gas inside. If I drain and flush out can it be repaired? If so what type of solder?

Yes it can, but most likely not worth the effort.
I had same issue and found that once it's bad enough to hold gas there's just too many holes to solder. I used normal a Radio Shack solder used for electronics.
New float is only $6-$8
