Re: [St] Petrol leak

["Jeremy Witt" <Jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I changed out mine, after cracking it myself, changing the already-leaking plastic fittings.  :0/  
 
I couldn't find exactly the same material, but ended up with a handful of the right size and shape for just a few dollars.  I visually check it now and then and it's doing fine as far as I can tell.
