WD-45 fuel leak

My WD-45 leaks fuel at the sediment bowl/fuel
shut off area. I can't exactly identify the source of the leak, but suspect it is either the gasket that the glass bowl presses against or a
gasket in the shutoff. It doesn't leak enough to leave a puddle but it leaks enough to smell, so the wife says I can't have the tractor in the attached garage until I fix this.

Are these gaskets readily available and/or can I buy an new bowl/shutoff assembly for a reasonable price?

you are better off just replacing the assembly

I had the same problem. your local AGCO dealer has

them in stock for about $25.00

Dale, "tadams" is correct about the possibility of the ass'y. being "warped" (a fairly common thing), however, since it leaks so little, a new gasket would probably do the trick. I would also tighten the packing nut on the valve if it hasn't already been tightened to the max.

NAPA carries both gasket and complete assenbly. You are better off to replace complete assemby because most of the time someone over tighten the sediment bowl and warped metal, and a new gasket will not seal.

Central Tractor lists the entire fuel sediment bowl assembly for $30, or the gasket for $2. Tracter Supply or AGCO also should have them for about the same money.
