Found gas leak!

[04Drifter]

In checking my petcock for starving conditions at high load, found the paint on the gas tank discolored and flaking off where it attached, even though the bolts were tight and the gasket had no cuts/tears and was not brittle.

Used my patented secret gasket sealer formula on the gasket and reinstalled petcock, after checking the screen, and have had no gas smell since and operation is very good.
