    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'm in need of some help, does anyone know if I need to buy OEM seals where the petcock attaches to the fuel tank or is there a product that I can make a seal with? Any help would be great.
I'm leaving work now so I'll check back in the morning.
Thanks,
Ian
 
Permatex. Take a small sheet of it, carve out the shape you need and the corresponding holes and bolt it inbetween the petcock and tank.

Or you could try some gasket sealant as long as it doesn't get in the tank and is gasoline resistant.

You can get a new seal from the dealer If it is leaking I would get a rebuild kit for the petcock--- do the job right it comes with all of the gaskets/seals you will need
 
If you have a leaky petcock, I'd go with the rebuild kit (you can probably find it on ebay).

However, I think you're just talking about the o-ring seal between the petcock and tank. You should be able to find it on www.bikebandit.com in their OEM section in the schematics. I've also heard that www.ronayers.com is cheaper (never tried myself), but you need the part numbers from bikebandit.

Good luck.

Thanks for all the ideas. :D
I'll get down in the basement this weekend and take care of the tank. Yes it is the seal between the tank and petcock I'm going to put in a new to me petcock it just didn't come with the seals.
Thanks again,
Ian
