Fuel Leak?

Anyone have the water drain on the fuel canister just start leaking fuel? I never use mine, and now it leaks a few drops everytime I park. Is that available as a part or do you need to replace the whole canister?

It looks removable. I bet you could replace the O rings in there.

I thought about just plugging it since I don't use it, but sounds like a plan. Let me know when you're available. I'm not in a huge hurry but would like stop it from leaking.
