Ill have him follow me again later when it gets dark to see if it still is happening, i dont know how it could be related to the petcock but we'll see.

Yaaaaay!

The petcock problem is on the delivery side (front end) ...not the vacuum side (back end).

Regardless, will need eventual removal, disassembly, cleaning, new oring and valve rubber. Good idea to have the parts on hand before going forward.
