    Hi all, I have a petrol leak coming from the petcock.
    It is coming from where the petcock fits to the tank. Is it ok to fit a new fibre washer, or do I need a rubber type washer. Your thoughs please.

    Cheap enough to replace whole tap.

    Rubber and ethanol (in 95 octane) don't go so well, you should use a special type for petrol stuff. But as Marsh says, just get a new tap
