Thanks for the comments. So far my fix is holding, but . . . I was really hoping there was an after market or upgraded gas tank that would work better.

Just bought a "new to me" 2006 Sherco 290. The gas tank was leaking like a sieve at the gasket. Replaced the gasket and brass screws, but the leak was still bad. We then trimmed the "wings" off the gasket and were able to stop the leak. The local dealer says this nylon tank is a poor design. Is there a better way or a better tank out there? Based on the wiggle required to get the petcock to the on position and the petcocks proximity to the tank bottom, it seems like it won't be long before the leak makes an appearance again soon. Thanks, Larry
