Fuel on the fuel lines?
I installed a new petcock, re-installed the fuel lines, and started smelling gas. Looked down and there was gas on the fuel lines (mostly on the lower/vacuum line) Any help as to why this is happening is appreciated

Do you have some sort of clamp on the hose connections. And of course the ever present, a bad piece of hose.

Yes, I had radiator clamps/hose clamps (You know the thing with the screw). However, I was tightening those and a part of the petcock broke off of the actual petcock, and left the part in the hose. fml. Should I try and replace the petcock, or just do something to fix the new one, by like JB Welding it or something?Bear45-70 wrote:Do you have some sort of clamp on the hose connections.

Re: Fuel on the fuel lines?
Those petcocks are made out of rice crispies and are fragile. I must have several nipples trying to get my hoses over them. Very brittle but what seller sent me a new petcock immediately after hearing my issues.
