One of them is dripping gas at the fuel shut-off valve at the bottom of the gas tank.
Does anyone know the specs for a replacement valve? And where to order one?
Thanks in advance for your help!

The valve (petcock) in mine had a 4" extension that ran though the floor and into the tank. I substuted a 4" brass nipple & 90° petcock with NPT x compression fittings. I tried taking the guts out of the new petcock & using them in the old valve but it wouldn't work right.

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | I have repaired several similar valves by first loosening the stem packing nut, screw the valve part all the way out (with nut too), then remove the old packing from inside nut, and replace with one or two small appropriately sized O-rings, reassemble, and snug the packing nut just enough to put some resistance on the valve and stop the leak, but not so tight you can't move the valve.
