Good To Know

Q: What is the purpose of a vacuum-operated petcock? A: It acts as a safety valve, opening the fuel line only when the engine is running and automatically shutting off fuel when the engine stops.

Q: How is a ruptured petcock vacuum diaphragm identified? A: Fuel leaking through the vacuum line or hard starting issues due to a lack of proper fuel delivery can indicate a compromised diaphragm.
