Comments (5)I too have used the white teflon tape, however they do make a teflon tape that has a light yellow color to it and it is made for natural gas and Propane lines. This tape comes in a plastic container like the plumbing tape but the color is yellow instead of the white and blue or red that the standard tape comes in. I used it on my houses propane lines at the recomendation of a plumber....See MoreRepair of Tecumseh Plastic Fuel Tank
Comments (6)I have had some success repairing plastic fuel tanks. I use a soldering iron, pushing existing plastic beside the crack into the crack. Plastic welding takes a little practice. After I test the repair with water. Once I know the leak is repaired I rough up the area with 80 grit sandpaper and use a special 2-part epoxy glue uesd for bonding auto panels on cars on the area to reinforce the repair. Works very well when done correctly....See MoreRyobi 780 Trimmer Fuel Tank

Comments (5)probably kids sticking thing in holes or you live in the drought area of the country? I just use pressure washer or garden hose (course pressure washer would be better), then bottle brush, pressure washer, rinse with gas or alcohol. Course you just can't stop there. replace the fuel lines, filter if it got one, clean the carb. change the oil, and check the air filter. Remove the spark plug spay 5 second blast carb. cleaner down the hole. motor the engine (pull the rope several times) to blow out any carbon while priming the combustion chamber. Clean the plug, check the gap, hit it with carb. cleaner install it and fire it up after you put gas in the gas tank....See Moreturnage (8a TX)
