Neoprene Washers For Gas Question About Leaking Petcock And Rubber / Nylon / Neoprene Washers?

Question about leaking petcock and rubber / nylon / neoprene washers? - neoprene washers for gas

Hello. I have a 150 cc scooter. Against the drain valve into a depression, which is welded firmly to the ground () on the bottom of the tank of gas. The shaft rests on a black, like the rubber washer in the nut on the top of the flush valve. The washing machine is broken, so that the gas seeping into the net.

I do not know what kind of material of this machine (rubber, nylon, neoprene, etc..) I was told by a mechanic of the trees of gasoline, it burns rubber so I think 'm perhaps better, with a rubber replace washer.

Replace question: What kind of machine I defective? (Rubber, nylon, neoprene, etc.)

Neoprene Motorfuels well with,,,, find, and it is often easier to use.

Viton or Buna would be better.

In many of these compounds of type O-ring petcock work instead of a flat disk.
Everything depends on the specific configuration of the real unification of the affected areas.


Many motorcycles have used the connection type.
Honda, perhaps more than anything else.

We could try to find a replacement from a local dealer.

Here you can get help, without knowing a particular model of motorcycle is a different matter.

The fate and sometimes even a decent man in a bike shop that knows what he is doing and willing to help.

Carburetor O-rings and hoses made of rubber.
Some float bowl gaskets meet on plain paper.

Neoprene and nylon can not relax and expand to fill the gaps, then compressed to fill.
Therefore, the use of washers and rubber O-rings.
2 The materials mentioned above hard and brittle with time after contact with petrol.
