Petcock the Third

Well, my second attempt at petcock repair failed because of a poorly-designed aftermarket diaphragm. The O-ring was too small. I should have learned my lesson by now but it almost never pays to mess around with stuff like this - just buy a new one and forget it.

So I did. I bought a NOS petcock on ebay for $36, which seemed like a good deal to me. Bolted it to the tank and no more gas oozing out.

Anyone need a slightly used petcock rebuild kit?
