Check the gas hoses (or hose connections) connected from the gas tank to the carb. to see if the hose(s) has holes someplace or lose connections. If all is ok in that area check to see if you carb have vibrated loose allowing gas to escape. You can also check to see if the carb needs to be cleaned and diaphragm replaced if it is no longer soft and pliable. Sometimes the diaphragms in carb turn to paperlike substance when exposed to gas for any length of time and will not close off that area of the carb allowing it to leak gas.l

simple enough prob - go to any local mower repair shop or hardware store and buy the small bottles that you mix with 1 gal of gas - all 2 cycle engines can use it - it makes life so much easier-

If you go about 32:1 you will be OK. It may be a 40:1 unit, but better safe than sorry if you are not certain.

Echo pb 251 leaf blower leaks oil

You need to check your gas line and the primer ball itself and make sure you don't have a split in the lines or in the ball, also check the fuel filter in the gas line to ensure it is not plugged up.

Gas is leaking from the leaf blower.

Unless the tank has been cracked, it has to be one of the following: Broken lines, split primer bulb, unsealed fuel cap, bowl gasket of carb. I would start with the lines and bulb since they are the ones usually at fault..Good luck...Lee

Just bought a used leaf blower, homelite, gas leaks out of the gas tank, where the gas tube fits into it.

"top of the gas tank where the gas tube fits into the tank"

I assume you're describing the gas tank cap. if so, the o-ring is missing from the gas tank cap. You can find those at hardware stores.
