Ya know nolan, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, so let me elaborate a little more.

You said you've owned motorcycles....did you know that since the 1980's, or even sooner they have been putting a vacume fuel shut off on the major majority of the motorcycles? You're just turning off the gas as a safety factor....doubling up. Why do you think the mfg recomend it? People have had fuel leaks due to improper fuel system maintenence, fuel has leaked out, and damage has resulted. The motorcycle industry gets sued over it and loose their arse. "CAUTION: COFFEE HOT!" Ring any bells?

Your tractor has leaked out gas? Definately not over night, or you need to be looking at a carb clean and a tank cleaning. If your fuel supply is perfectly clean, and you don't let it sit long enough to go stail, much less varnish, it shouldn't leak. Go fix your stuff. They didn't build these things with too much "columb pressure" to begin with, so something must be wrong.

End rant
