I picked up a JD 322 Lawn and Garden for a fix up project and also help my 4310 with the tighter mowing chores.
I removed the gas tank and clean under it and the fender pan. I put in new grommets where the fuel and sensor go. Next day I noticed a small gas leak. Seem to be a small pin hole on the side of the tank. I think the tank is made out of polypropylene. Are there any repair methods I could use and if so what product? I cleaned the outside of the tank with water, soap and a soft brush.
Also, while tilting the tank to locate the leak I was getting a small amount of gas out the new grommets. I didn't think they needed any sealant. Is this only cause they are at the top of the tank and do not have fuel against they all the time or did I not install them corrently or will they seat after time. Not leaking around where the grommet goes into the tank as much as where the tube goes through the grommet. I cleaned then up real good and used some silicone to get them installed.
