I had a gas one on my Harley That just cracked one day, not sure where or why, just noticed it before a ride one day, since then I'm a bit paranoid about them. Good thing about the motorcycle is I turn the petcock off unless I am driving. If I'm a t a stop somewhere resting , eating, whatever, even filling the tank at a gas station, the stop cock is turned off. Part of the reason for that is motorcycles are gravity feed, and I don't want 5 gallons potentially leaking on burning hot cylinders, no desire for any fires, I never use the cheap plastic ones except on law mowers or small utility gas power tools. I'm not planning on replacing this one on the truck until it gets street legal and I go driving aroung where it's hidden from plain sight. For now its fine!
