Gas leak where gas lines enter and leave tank

fuel line is available by the foot from a mower shop
most fuel leaks involving lines and tanks can be traced to the rubber grommet at the lines to tank entry
take it to a mower shop and discuss the fix

most likely not the cap but the grommet around the 2 fuel lines at the top of the fuel tank
easiest fix is a new fuel tank that has the lines already installed

Some fuel tanks will have a black rubber grommet that have holes for the fuel lines to go into, if your holes are in the tank itself, then no, there's no grommet. And if that's the case ,your lines are not the correct outer diameter. There are multiple sizes of fuel lines. In my shop I have multiple sizes, if you don't have that kinda stock, you're better off either ordering the ones of a parts drawing of your model or simply take your unit and old lines to the closest small engine shop and have them match em up, u actually can just bring the tank with ya.

replace the grommet fuel line

Yes you should be able to replace the rubber tank seal that the fuel line goes through. Be sure to replace the fuel line(s) when you do.

Hello Brian,
I would visually inspect fuel lines entering/leaving tank that go to the carb. These tend to get brittle and crack. Also, some models have a rubber grommet that the fuel lines pass through entering/leaving the tank, these too get brittle and crack. If that looks good, you may have a stuck needle in carburetor and it will need to be removed and serviced. Hope this helps. Good luck and happy wrenching!

Your grommet might be bad or you might have gotten the wrong size fuel line.

The carbon canister may saturated. If you are one to try get as much fuel as possible into the fuel tank, that may be how it happened.

Also check the gas cap. There is supposed to be a one way valve to allow air to enter into tank, but not vent out in any direction but by the vent hose to the carbon canister. That valve may be leaking. Also, there is a purge vent to the intake manifold, check to make sure that passage is clear and not carboned up.

replace grommet. you may want to replace the fuel lines to you can use echo part number # 90098. its a fuel line kit and it come with all fuel lines, grommet, fuel filter, and vent. its plug and play.

Engine light on can be a lot of different things. But first, fid the gas leak! The fuel line is a combination of steel and in some places rubber lines. It is likely that the leak is in the rubber part of the line. The tank is usually protected under the vehicle by a steel plate that first must be removed on Jeeps. I don't know what part of the car the gas is leaking from, but if it near the tank at the back, its is probably where the line comes from the tank or where the filler pipe enters the tank. You will just have to get under the vehicle with a flashlight and look to see exactly where the gas is coming from. You may have to remove the bolts holding the tank cover on, it is heavy, so you might want to have a floor jack under it with a 2 by 2 foot piece of plywood between the steel plate and the jack. That way you can lower it to the ground safely. Do the same thing with the tank. You will have to disconnect the fuel filler hose before you can let the tank down. There is a clamp at the tank that hold it on. Look for leaks and replace the hose that is leaking. This is a critical issue. Gas and hot exhaust pipes can set this off into an inferno. Now back to the engine light on. A gas leak can cause the light on because it may show up as an evaporative system leak. It's like leaving the gas cap off. If you want a better idea of why the light is on, drop by an Autozone or Advance auto store and they will usually hook it up to their code scanner for free. Without the code readout you have to just guess at the cause for the light.
