Bob, the problem with these valves is you have to soak the cork gasket in
water or oil first, then the secret is you must turn the slotted screw in
the center of the top round knob down very tight to expand the cork plug, so
tight it is almost impossible to move the cut-off up or down, I have this on
my car for 8 years now, once I learned about tightening it down, never a
leak again. "FT"
