Fuel shut off leaking

onestringer · Jul 10, 2015

My fuel shut off is leaking out the hole opposite the valve. Is there a fix?

Since they are right over the engine, I don't play with them.
I just replace them. They're $15. [b:2a95baffad]Link here.[/b:2a95baffad]

You would not have forgotten to tighten the plug? I completely forgot to put it in once.

I have had trouble getting the plug to hold. I put an o ring behind the plug and the problem went away.

A few years ago I ordered a replacement from an on-line dealer. First the valve didn't hold. Removed it and found the sealing material was some sort of rubber and was split. Went to my New Holland dealer and bought a new valve. It came with a cork gasket. It held fine. Then the pipe plug was leaking even though tight. Removed it and used a sealer on the threads that was gasoline resistant. It has been over five years ago and still working fine.

A lot of times, the packing around the valve stem leaks. Just tighten it up enough to squeeze the stem a little.
