Does anyone know what type of epoxy/glue I can use to glue the brass fuel line tubes back into the petcock housing?

They should be a press fit, try lightly tapping them in with a hammer and they should stay.

From http://www.jbweld.com/faqs/

"Is J-B Weld resistant to water and/or gasoline?



When fully cured, J-B Weld is completely resistant to water, gasoline, and about every other petroleum product or automotive chemical. For wet-surface or submerged water or gasoline repairs, try our SteelStik or WaterWeld.

Hi Van and welcome,
try tinning them.
Bernz torch, resin flux, any kind of solder.
Wipe the excess off with a rag so there's only a thin coating.
Press back into place.

Hi Fred, thanks for the welcome. Sounds like a good idea. Hopefully this will stop the gas leaks. Thanks for the reply!!!!!!
