Fuel tank quick connect leaking
So my 2011 roadking is leaking gas out of the quick connect. If I disconnect it it doesn't leak. If I push on it it doesn't leak until I let go. If I pull down on it it just runs out until I push up on it.
Is there orings up in there I can replace or do I need to replace the whole thing? My dealer isn't open till Tuesday to get parts.
Sorry if this is on the site somewhere but I'm on my phone and it won't let me search the forum. Thanks in advance for the help.

I dont think its the same size as the drain, its smaller and thicker. I tried to buy one at the dealer for a bike I was working on and they told me its not sold separately, you have to buy the line and fitting.

If that's true, you can buy an assortment of Viton O rings for far less than the line and fitting, but IIRC it is indeed the same size as the drain plug.

I put an oil plug "O" ring on mine about 60,000 miles ago when it leaked. Haven't had problem since.
