Petcock bolts are leaking
I've got gas leaking around the petcock bolts on my GS1100E. Not sure if the original washers had a rubber backing or not. Anyway I need to resolve this issue. Please give me your ideas.. Thanks!Tags: None

The original bolts did have a rubber washer. Just find some suitable sized fuel hosing and cut a thin slice to fit. Works great.Rob

The original washers have a rubber seal built in. Sounds like you need new ones.Ed

Thanks guys. I didn't know if the originals had rubber washers on them or not and I couldn't tell from the parts picture. I'll order some then! I appreciate everyone's help!
