1863 fuel tank leaking

Looks like the rubber grommets in the bottom of the tank where the petcocks mount are leaking on my Cub. Anyone know where to get these and how to you remove and replace them?

How are these removed and replaced? Do they just pry out of the bottom of the tank?

Yeah, just pull them out. Can be kind of difficult if they are old and hardened. Put a little bit of grease on the new ones to make it easier to install them.

Install the grommet in the tank, the the fitting in the grommet for best results. Matt is right, a bit of grease helps. Good tip Art!
