Stihl HT75 tank problems

[trooney]

Don't know if its the right forum to post on but I've got a problem with a leaking tank on a ht75. I think its coming from one or both of the fuel lines coming out of the tank. When you turn it on its side it leaks like a sieve. My question is is this common with this unit? Also when talking with Stihl about fuel lines they said they had plenty of bulk love ne in stock. The fuel line thats on it has got a flat rubber piece thats on it. Is that molded into the fuel line or is it kind of like a cap? Haven't got into it yet but trying to get info before to lessen the time to get it up. Thanks.

fuel tank lists for 20.00 that includes you fuel line. doesnt include cap. the press in groument are leaking cheaper to just buy a tank

The grommet that seals the tank can be replaced. (part no. 0000 989 0516) It`s also possible that the fuel lines leak. You can replace this also from hose
0000 930 2803 (availible as 1m pieces) From that hose you cut down 2 pieces. One with 135mm length and the other with 185mm length. After that put the fuel line and return line with new grommets and fuel filter back in the tank. Use a little bit press fluid or oil/grease to put the hose through the grommet.
