If you are asking if one exists on a Harley, the answer is yes.

I think you may find that the letters ar Pri - Prime - the position of the petcock that will allow fuel to flow freely all the time. Should only be used when the carbs are empty of fuel (eg when carbs have been drained or bike not run for some time. Leaving the petcock in this position may lead to hydraulic lock in the cylinders if your carb float valves do not seal perfectly. So only use it in this position to refill carbs if they were thought to be empty.
To remove the petcock from the tank of a Honda VTX 1300, first ensure the fuel valve is in the "OFF" position and disconnect the fuel line. Next, remove any screws or bolts securing the petcock to the tank; some models may require you to detach the mounting bracket as well. Carefully pull the petcock straight out, taking care not to damage the tank or any gaskets. Finally, clean the area before installing a new petcock or reassembling.
To drain fuel from the tank of a 2001 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, first ensure the motorcycle is on a stable surface. Disconnect the fuel line from the petcock or fuel pump, using a fuel line clamp to prevent spills. Position a suitable container to catch the draining fuel, then open the petcock or activate the fuel pump to allow the fuel to flow out. Always exercise caution and follow safety guidelines when handling fuel.
To get the gas out of the petcock on a 2000 Heritage Softail, first, ensure the motorcycle is on a stable surface and the fuel valve is in the "Off" position. Place a container beneath the petcock to catch the fuel. Then, turn the valve to the "Reserve" or "On" position to allow fuel to flow, and use a siphon or disconnect the fuel line to drain the gas into your container. Always take precautions to avoid spills and ensure proper ventilation.
If you you turn it clockwise as far as it will go it will be in the reserve position. Anti-clockwise as far as it will go is the on position. Halfway between the two is the off position. All this presuming of course that you have the stock petcock.

Mine is a 2004 XL1200c, same filter. It sets on top of the petcock in the gas tank. It is a super fine filter and does get clogged with normal use. You do not need to remove the tank, carefull syphen all the gas from the tank. The chrome nut is double threaded, it has resevse threads on each end to mount and dismount the petcock to the tank. Pull the vacume tube from the back of the petcock, pull the gas line from the bottom of the petcock. The Filter is pressed onto the petcock, so after you lower the petcock the first inch, take a fine screwdriver and gently pry the filter from the petcock. Remove the percock, then carefully pull the fuel filter down. It is about 3.5 inches long. I suggest you replace it, not just clean it, Once it's clogged, it will clog again in short duration. Hope this helps.
Remove and clean the petcock. Replace and if it still leaks, replace with a new petcock.
