Default dripless packing glands

Did you put something like a vacuum cleaner on the tank so it sucked air in?

Indeed you can. I changed the fuel valves at the connections on the
bottom of our tanks earlier this year, and spilled about 3 teaspoons of
fuel. Of course, you also have to prepare the job properly before hand.
When you are holding back 175 gallons of diesel with your thumb is not a
time to realize you don't have the right wrench on the boat.
