I don't use the alloy sealing washers that come with petcocks. I use fiber washers from Harbor Freight or Amazon with a thin smear of Hylomar Blue sealant on both sides of the fiber washer. Seals like butter. <br clear="none">

Do make sure all the petcock threads are clean (brass toothbrush works well) and wiped with some wheel bearing grease for ease of operation and anti-rust properties. <br clear="none">

I'm still using the same fiber washers from 10 yrs ago because they don't become deformed with such little torque on the sealing nut and Hylomar stays soft and seals time and time again. <br clear="none">

<div>You are correct. A new type screen with the built in aluminum crush washer will be your seal. The old washers were a red fiber washer. The newer screen setup will keep more tank debris out of the fuel system. </div>
