gasket for fuel petcock

[HT2005]

I just got a new fuel petcock for my half gallon chinese gas tank. It didn't come with a gasket and the old one fell apart. I need one. I looked for one on thatsdax, but couldn't find one there. I'd think that someone would sell them in bags of 10 or so. Someone please direct me to someplace where I can find a gasket.

I'd just go to any motorcycle shop, I'd say most if not all bikes use them.
Other than that I'd get some of that gas proof putty that is sold for leaky gas tanks. It's about five bucks.

Automotive fuel injector o-rings, cheap and effective.

I have a few extras, PM me with your address and I'll send you one.

The red one right?

Alternately, you can buy some Seal-All at wmart or an automotive store and seal the threads. Just goop some on the threads, screw it in most of the way until it lines up and leave it for a few hours.

I use copper spray on gasket sealer on the gasket, & teflon tape on the threads!

I used a high pressure pneumatic air hose, sliced thinly about 2 - 3mm. It seems to work perfectly. I could'nt find the O-rings, nor do the motorcycle parts shop have the gasket. So I improvise...

Just use teflon tape and call it a day

I am looking into seal-all as Bikeguy Joe said. It seems as though it may work. I'm lucky because I have many hardware stores around here and I'm sure they would have it. I just need to make sure that "resistant" is close to "proof" as far as protection against gasoline and oil goes.

Ok, I just got seal-all from Pep-Boys and it looks promising. Even though on the package it says "gas and oil resistant", I think it should work because it shows an image of a gas can and a bicycle (nice coincidence, eh?).
I also bought a tube of Permatex Gas and Radiator Repair, which is similar to JB Weld, but for gas tanks, oils, etc. I'll try the Seal-All tomorrow.
