Re: [CB450T] on the way to work...

Shut off valve gasket or the float bowl gasket (O-ring) is what it sounds like Take it apart and clean it first but don't try and remove it from your tank. Can't be lubricated. (Well, maybe silicone) might be able to just find a petcock position that doesn't leak until then
Luck!

While riding to work today, I started to run out of gas. My bike usually does 270 k on a tank but was only at 150 when I had to switch to reserve to keep gas flowing. When I reached down to switch to reserve, there was gas leaking from the shut off valve. Any help, suggestions, previous experience with this would be super. I hope I just need to replace a seal or something minor.

Cheers,
