    It doesn't matter if the needles are sealing or not, if the gasket is leaking. If gas is leaking out, the level will drop,the needle will open, and more gas runs in......either way, the process continues.

    If the fuel supply tube o-rings are leaking, the fuel valve will be of no consequence, there, either. The fuel supply tubes and o-rings are in line BEFORE the fuel valve.

    So you do need to break the rack down and do the whole thing correctly.
