[quote BS][quote AllFish]Mine started leaking bad on the third season. Grommet appeared to shrink.
Tried to find one at Ogden Lawn and Garden but the hole in the tank is larger than the grommets they have for equipment.
Ended up taking the tank off and used a piece of plastic, hot glued it down over the grommet hole in the tank, then drilled another tight hole for the fuel line and pulled a new hose through. hot glued around the hole where it goes through the plastic hole.
So far it hasn't leaked but time will tell.
FWIW[/quote]
Not a dollar issue but a time issue. Needed it fixed immediately.
Likely came up with a solution that is superior and permanent.
Yea that sounds way easier then sending Eskimo $7 for a new grommet.[/quote]
