Sorry for the repeated question guys but I fitted a new tour max fuel tap today and have a tiny bit of fuel weeping from the screws, I read a while ago that it's a common problem but I can't find the thread that explains how to stop it, do I need to use a little sealant on the screws? if so which sealant is petrol proof?
Thanks.

The OEM ones are not exy to buy from the dealer.
FWIW no kit comes with the washers... or the bolts for that matter. Well not one that ive ever bought, neither oem or aftermarket.

The original Yamaha ones were a fibre type washer, but copper ones are just as good.
