IDK how thick/stiff the diaphragm is, but at 30 degrees, rubber gets a bit stiff, sometimes.

In my case, I wasn't having a problem with the vacuum function of the petcock per se. I was having a problem with the diaphragm letting fuel through to the vacuum line and thence, to the intake manifold.

The problem seemed to be exacerbated by cool/cold temperatures.
