Without know the specific engine I would say the carburetor float float valve seat is leaking. Usually a carburetor cleaning and rebuild usually fix this it leaking out the carburetor.
Now with some engines the gas tanks are two piece plastic that glue together that leaking over time and need replacing.
Either way you first must determine where the leak is.
I don't believe that Husky (Home Depot) makes any 3000psi pressure washer that operates with a 2 Cycle motor. So.... gas only in the gas tank. Husky pumps can be from several differant manufacturers... some use no oil, some are sealed and don't recommend any attempt at oil changes, and some use Non-detergent 30w oil and some use 20-50 Full Synthetic oil. You can look up your specific model specifcations with a google search for Husky pressure washer.
Get a hot glue gun and seal the plastic tank. I know it worked for over a year for me and still holding when I moved and sold it. I no longer needed it as I was moving into an apartment.
It will be necessary to replace the entire plastic casting containing both tanks. Repair of plastic cracks is not practical due to inability of any form of cement/glue to bond with the plastic and saw vibration would hasten the process. Just empty the tank out when not using the saw. Good luck!
If the tanks are plastic, the best fix is to replace them. Most epoxies, silicon, and other glue bases don't bond well with plastic and the vibration of the running saw doesn't help the repair either. Hope this helps!
I looked at a 2007 IPL, your saw has a separate fuel tank vent. Husky is terrible about providing a nomenclature and you may need help from your local Husky dealer to identify components.
Find your "Illustrated parts lists" here: HusqvarnaUSA.com http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/download-manuals/ Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers) Serial number decode – for use with IPL 06 1500198 06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000) 15 = week produced - March 00198 = 198th unit Husky produced that week
