Default Re: Fumes

Yup, that’s exactly what my old shutoff did. Would run the car out of gas and 2 hours later I would be dripping gas.

I will argue that regardless of the condition of the shutoff valve, the carb should not leak gas. The float valve in the carb should be able to seal off the flow of gas.

However, a working shutoff will buy you some time before you fix the leaky carb.
