I noticed a strong fuel smell coming from my 4 year old Cub 1046. Looked underneath and saw a slow leak where the rubber fuel line meets the tank.
Thought (hoped) it was the fuel line, so I snipped off about 2 inches from the end, reconnected, and still had a slow leak.
Through some basic troubleshooting, it appears as if the bottom of the tank has a slow leak around the nozzle that you connect the fuel line to.
1) Have any of you ever heard of a Cub tank leaking? It has been fine for 4 years, so it just started.
2) Is it difficult to replace tank? I found the part online for about $100.
3) Any other ideas? Am I heading down the wrong path?
Thanks
