    Petcock

    So I got my new petcock and I wanted to know if I should put some gasket sealer on it before I bolt on

      No reason for any sealant - the petcock uses an o-ring to seal against the tank. Just make sure the surface is clean.

      Best to use 2 new sealing washers with the 2 mounting screws as well - those look like regular flat washers, but they have have a rubber seal around the ID (common cause of fuel leaks).
