Mine too, has come loose at times.  It doesn't leak (yet) when I press it back into the petcock body with firm hand / arm pressure and it seems to stay tight until the next time I work on the fuel line

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

Mine would show wetness around the valve, so it kitted it.  Didn't fix the problem, which turned out to be seepage in the pressed in fitting.  JB weld to the rescue, cured it.
I also on my '83 had the pressed fitting loosen. ALSO used JB weld Qwik. I think we have found a common issue.

That's my next job.  My JB Quick weld is getting cured with a space heater right now.
