Hey y'all, so I finally got the petcock off and got a closer look. Why is there a hole in the petcock itself where gas is coming through? I suppose it's the gasket gone wrong but there's a perfect hole built in where it's leaking. Any thoughts? Cheers

The hole I mentioned is circled in red, and is presently lined up with the diaphragm vent marked with the goofy arrow, hence the gushing fuel.
I think if the diaphragm is rotated 180 degrees, the hole will line up with the Prime passage and the leaking will stop.
Never saw a green oring in one, though.
