If you're referring to the grommet where the fuel lines enter the fuel tank, just go into any mower shop and ask for a Ryobi tank grommet. It is effectively a generic item and is interchangeable with almost all 2 line grommets.
Alternatively, as an Atom dealer, I could order the genuine part in for you.
it is not an easy job
one of the quickest ways is to get a fuel/s and rubber grommet as an assembly and r/r replace the old unit in the tank
take the tank off to do the job
the fuel line itself is expensive but the assembly is a bit cheaper
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
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.
Most have a rubber "capture" on the front of the chassis near the head set and you then slide your tank onto the rubber captures and then bolt it down near the seat onto another rubber grommet bolt hole. Metal on metal with fuel tanks is never a great combo.
-fuel pump located under rear seat (right side looking forward ) -working inside the car lift the rear seat -Pull up rubber grommet which cable goes through -remove circular steel cover plate -disconnect mutliplug on top of pump -unscrew bezel using hammer & punch -Pull up pump from tank -replace with new pump ensuring that rubber seal doesnt get kinked -replace bezel -connect mutliplug and test before replacing steel cover -Ensure no leaks, even take car for a ride to ensure no leaks -if tests ok then replace steel cover and grommet, & seat.
Have it replaced at a lawnmower repair shop.
1.) Have them check the grommet (black round rubber like a thick coin with 2 or 3 holes), replace it if it is crumbly. It holds the fuel line and the fuel vent line - if your trimmer has it. Grommets on the average cost about $6.00. Not all trimmers have fuel grommets, some of them only have holes right on the fuel tank.
2.) Replace the fuel line with Tygon fuel line hose. Tygon can withstand UV light, petroleum, high and low temperatures while retaining its shape. Just make sure the replacement tube is of the the same inside diameter. For a small piece of Tygon hose, ave. cost no greater than $8.00.
3.) Replace the fuel filter. The one inside the tank, connects to the end of the fuel line. Fuel filter, good ones are about $4.00.
