Hi everyone,

This morning I was mocking up a tank lift with spacers to see how it looks and to get the measurements right in order to get my parts.

I look down and the fuel line had just popped out. Through some stroke of luck it didn't leak all over the place (it was on).

I fiddled with it and it just slides in and out of the petcock like it's nothing. When attached there's some upward pressure from the fuel line so it doesn't come out. How is this piece normally secured inside the petcock assembly?

What can I do here? Do I need to replace it?

Pic attached.

Thanks,

I would replace the petcock body (p/n 62169-02A). It's < $30.00 on-line.
You should disconnect the fuel line before starting the tank lift, the reattach when done.

 

Thanks for the sound advice and part number. However, I just cleaned it up and hit it with a little smear of 5 minute epoxy to see if that does the trick. I'd like to get out for a ride today and I'll keep a close eye on it.
