what to use to stick the pipe back into the petcock ?

#1 Post by two-stroke-brit » Thu Jun 05, 2014 1:57 pm

i was pulling on the fuel line from petcock to carb and pulled the brass pipe out of the tap :smt010 .
what is good to reattach it with .
i was thinking to epoxy it back in but not sure what effect the gas might have on it.
