I have a HOMELITE ST-275 Weed eater
UT 205941 A
serial # HD 1(?) 471998, (I can't see the first # before the 4) loos like a 1
When I use for trimming the edges of my lawn the gas tank leaks and leaves an awful smell of gasoline or kills the grass.
The tank it is not broken, the gas comes where the lines are going into the tank, looks like the hole of the tank is bigger and the hoses small.
The weed eater works fine.
I fixed with some glue to seal it , but the glue came off after 1 or 3 uses.
Is there any glue that gasoline cannot eat up?
Can I buy a new tank?
