I will try the teflon tape. It looks like its coming from the tank gas outlet, leaking along the threads. I can send a picture. Thanks for your help
Janicholson said: (quoted from post at 19:25:07 05/29/10) It is usually 1/8th inch pipe threads. These usually do not "start" leaking. Using paper towels, wipe the area clean and with good light on the subject (non sparking) look to assess the true location of the leak. If it is in the tank, or tank outlet flange, it might be easiest to put a different tank on it (from a lawn mower shop) if it is easy to get off, and desirable to have it "original" soldering it can be done if it is first cleaned well, and prepped. It cannot be heated with water in it, so it would need to be boiled out (radiator shop, or other dramatic cleaning)
If it is the threads, careful use of teflon tape will work wonders. Do not allow any tape to get into the pipe, keep the wrap at least one thread up the taper of the threads. Jim
