I think I understand what you are describing, let me know.
There are no leaks with the fuel valve shut off, correct? Once the valve is open, fuel leaks out between the valve packing nut and valve shaft, do I have it right? I think you mention trying to tighten the packing nut further, but it is already tight. If so, it would seem as though you are out of luck. I don’t think there is any way of replacing the shaft packing in there, perhaps someone else has an idea. I’m thinking you need a different fuel valve.
