On my Stromberg 48 carburettor petrol tends to weep out the three plugs on the bottom of the bowl.
I believe you can buy Nylon washers to replace the thin fibre washers, and some replace the plugs with a hex head ones, because the plugs are awkward to get at with the generator in front.

The nylon washers work well.
