What's the best way to (a) stop petcocks from leaking fuel from where they attach to the tank and (b) align the lever in the front without having the petcock too loose ?
I have tried using mulitple fiber washers, o-rings and teflon tape. All seem to work for a few days, then.....drip drip drip...
Steve sells some stuff in a tube on Bevel Heaven - My guess is that is the stuff to use.
