leaking petcock

[doomed_preacher]

My petcock is leaking around the mounting screws the o ring that is between the tank and petcock is fine but its leaking through the bolts that hold it to the tank should thiey also have an o ring on them or am i fine just using a fuel friendly sealant around the bolts

Not sure if some type of sealant might work, but there is suposed to be a gasket/washer between the bolt and the actual petcock to prevent gas leakage.Its not a plain metal washer, from my brother's troubles on his Kat years ago i think i remember that its has a coating on it, make sense since metal to metal doesn't work too well at preventing leaks

maybe copper washer or brass washer like used on brake lines and some quads heads

mine are plastic type washers

For now I coated the bolts in head gasket sealant and it seems to be working but only time will tell
