This practice will also often show a leaking petcock diaphragm because of the presence of unintended fuel in the squeeze bottle. Pull the vacuum hose off the petcock, squeeze the bottle, slip the bottle's hose onto the petcock vacuum port and release the squeeze from the bottle. The resulting vacuum will hold the petcock diaphragm in the open position which allows fuel to flow without engine running. Also handy for draining fuel to help someone out of gas.   https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pozhy80bqnbx1n7/AABh7gS1e1zLE-8_xYVk9gzCa?dl=0
