I'd take off the tank and check all your lines first. put a piece of toilet paper under the petcock, see if its a wringled up from gas leaking on it. Also check around the seal for the tank lid cover.

be sure to check your seal around the filler. also when i disconnect my tank and re hook it up, itll leak for a bit then it stops. nothing excesive just a couple drops from the petcock

Mine would leak around the vacuum diagram part. Get a F3 or F4 petcock from ebay and call it a day.

NO that will not work!! The F2 petcock works by vacuum of the #1 port. The F3 does not use vacuum.

Oh honey, I should hope he would be smart enough to use a $.05 vacuum cap. Jeez.
