    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I went out today to go for a quick ride and found gas on the floor and paint pealing off the tank : ( . I put a new rubber o-ring on the petcock last fall but it seems to be leaking fuel from the bolts. Does anyone have a reliable fix for this? is there some kind if special rubber washer or something that seals the bolts? Never understood the thought process behind the way these petcocks are bolted on.
 
They don't take o-rings. There is a special type of washer that has a metal ring with rubber on the inside of the circle. Hard to describe but easy to understand when you see them. I forget the name of these washers (sealing washers?) but that is what you need.

I have seen these on master cylinder bolts. Thanks, to both of you, more stuff to add to the next order!
