Hi Dunc

If they are all leaking your petcock may not be shutting off properly - don't leave it parked in the prime position.

If it's just certain overflow pipes that are producing petrol then the float height and float valve needle/ seat needs checking / cleaning on that bowl.

Haynes manual is pretty good on this and you can produce a home made float hight tester with clear aquarium air hose and a connector for cheap money.

Cheers from Mark
