Leaking Petcock

[nascarkeith]

I was doing some work on the fuel lines and petcock when it fell apart.  I got everything put back together but now it leaks when I'm running on reserve.  I've tried to get it to stop but can't.  Any suggestions?  What am I overlooking?

I think there's a spring that goes in the petcock that puts pressure on the internals to keep them snug.  I lost it once without realizing it and it leaked.  Got a spring from Ben2go on this forum and fixed the prob.  Hope that's it.

my tank and fuel selector switch both started leaking recently. I bought a new petc*ck off ebay for $55 shipped. Worked perfect and I don't have to worry about coming home to a floor covered in gas...
