Road Toad Puddles

Post by viclioce »

I’m guessing it’s my petcocks? Even with them turned off it appears to be leaking fuel. Is there a rebuild for the petcocks or just replacement? It just started leaking this week. Thx! :ugeek: Victor

Go above the petcock and make sure the tank itself isn't leaking, the threaded area isn't leaking, then check the valve itself. Replacement is the best option, although there could be an argument about trying to overhaul.

If you were going to overhaul, where would you find the parts? Terry doesn’t seem to offer the intervals separately, does he? :ugeek: Victor

I found a pair on eBay for $35. They’re already in the way! :ugeek: Victor
