MG MGB Technical - shut off valve leaking gas

hi
79mgb
my shut off valve has begun to leak gasoline so i have bypassed it ( the valve is that between the fuel filter and the carb that shuts off gas flow in case of an accident)
when i take it off it may be obvious how to fix the leak, but, if anyone has ideas on its repair i would appreciate them, please.
thanks

I have yet to see an MGB with a functional roll over valve. Most people bypass it as you have done. It is a somewhat redundant feature as there is an electrical cutoff switch under the dash which interrupts power to the fuel pump in the event of a rollover.
