Okay so I've had a problem with my petcock leaking.('75 stock tank and petcocks) The large rubber gasket that has the holes for the on and reserve flow are worn as in the hole has a nick out of it. it sits flush with the metal body but the small tear out of the hole allows fule to flow into the hole thats supposed to be against the metal body. Now I understand a gasket kit is fairly cheap but I'm on next to no money and I've been hearing the rebuild kits people have been buying are a piss in the dark at best.
Is there a fuel resistant gasket sealer or something I can artfully fill these tears so the gasket is flush and stops or slows this leak? It really only leaks in the off position filling the bowl slowly until it spills the excess out of the overflow, then stopping till it refills.
I know this isn't a desirable way to "fix" this problem but I had to use a freakin fence hinge lock and bent bracket to hold my pipe so thats my budget. LOL It's solid with no shake.
