Hey guys, iv got a homelite 550 that leaks gas into the bar oil tank, could this be a bad seal in the tank or is there some fancy engineering junk going on? Also how hard is it to split the tank on this saw if I have to go in?
-
Leaking seal between the tank halves. I have no experience fixing those tanks................but I can assure you that it won't be fun. It's "glued and screwed" together...
-
After looking it over, I think I'd rather pay some one to fix it ;D any takers? Hahah!
-
May be better off scaring up another fuel tank assembly and swapping that on. Of course, that one could be a leaker too. You'd want to have some sort of assurance that the replacement tank was good.
What area of the country are you located in?
-
Im in Mississippi, I'd be willing to pay for a good tank that's been gone through

Found a NOS tank a while back but passed when the guy wanted $200 for it. :o

Yikes!
I've seen a couple NOS 450/550 tanks on the bay over the last few years. They weren't $200 though...

Anyone ever tried using POR15 to seal one? They offer a motorcycle fuel tank sealer kit. http://www.por15.com/POR-15-Motorcycle-Fuel-Tank-Repair-Kit-_p_106.html
