i wouldn't do that if he's finding gas in petcock's vacuum line.

hand-operated vacuum pump will help troubleshoot leaking diaphragm. Pump it up to 5-7 in.Hg to get fuel flowing. Then watch gauge. If vacuum drops and you have to keep pumping to maintain same vacuum reading, shows diaphragm isn't sealing.
