I had to run my car over 100 miles before the engine repair started working properly,but once i drove it over a 100 miles it ran better and sealed all the leaks. So my advice would be to drive it for as many miles as you can and see what happens after that.

In my case, I had a severe leaking transmission with my Ford and nothing helped until I put Bar's stop leak which totally fixed it for me. Then I started buying the engine leak repair from Bar also because of my good experience with the transmission stop leak earlier. I can't say, since I didn't have engine leak problem, but by putting Bar's in I think it prevented it from happening. It's a very good $10 insurance. AAMCO wanted to charge me $1800 for the above transmission leak which I skipped by spending only $10 on Bar. However, I'm not a mechanic and don't know if you'd have similar good experience or not. In my case, I had tried almost all brands with no luck. Only Bar fixed it for me.

I think it is comparable to Lucas. I don't believe it would solve the problem

I think it will work i use it to gain horse power and stop leak and works for that but i think it will work for your problem

I know this is an old question but for the sake of others looking at this, THE PUMP IS SEALED and the oil is non serviceable. It is a sealed system, do not add oil. This information comes directly from Briggs and Stratton technical support. I called them, they double checked. Bolt this on and away you go...

Yes, that is what we did. Seems to work just fine. A bit of extra soot on the logs. Not sure if that is normal or not.

Mike: that can be 3 problems: Float set to high, to many pumps on the primer or a bad gasket. To set the float: take the carb out of the engine, remove the bowl and with the carb upside down the float should be a little bit up from level. ckeck on youtube for a video on how to do it. Try to start the engine with only 2 pumps on the primer.If still leaking send it back. Hope you fix the problem. Marcelo.

I have a 04 chevy Silverado and also smelled gas fumes near the center console inside the truck and one day started the truck and heard a loud back fire noise under the hood.The check engine light came on immediately, I have read many reviews and after replacing evap purge solenoid and not correcting the problem I hope this will work.

I would suggest making sure your connections are tight and sealing properly. Stink is added to propane for your protection, telling you there is a leak. Not good.

Hello, J. Waldvogel! Could you recommend a better one for an average shade tree mechanic like me? I also need it to read the older OBD-I connector vehicles too. I have an old 1994 Chevy diesel truck that is showing a "Service Engine Soon" light. I would like to be able to connect to it and fix the problem. Thanks in advance! Lee

Good luck! Chances are if these need replacing, the engine is not far behind. I replaced mine at 85,000 miles. The engine didn't make it to 115,000. Had to get rid of the truck! Such a sad design.

I thought I read somewhere to use Shell Rotella 40w. Couldn't find that in quarts, so I used Chevron Delo 15w-40. Never had leakage more than a film on the bit until I loaned it to a relative. I heard he used it a LOT, and now oil leaks out. I used it for a few minutes, and I get drips now. Can't store it horizontally anymore. Oil even coming out around the bolts, supplied allen wrench too small to really tighten those. Guess I'll try tightening those, but most oil is leaking out thought the bit shaft. Don't know if the seal is serviceable.

Check air filter, check spark plug wires, check TPS. Look for vacuum line leak. Look for bad connector to MAP sensor. If carb check choke plate. Hope this helps.

I understand that is new but I am still of the opinion that either the burner holes are clogged by some debris or the propane gas valve is not fully opened so not enough pressure reaches the rear side of the burner - you have only one ignition system and that means that either it ignites or it does not, and in your case, it does, so to me it looks like the fuel doesn't make it all the way - I'm not an engineer but have been struggling with this very pretty grill for years; I buy and change the burner every year ($49)! ... I also have a full size propane can and purchased a full size hose adaptor and connector (approx. $14)... Good luck!

Check your 02 sensors, cuz the failure of old injector probably dumped more fuel in system than normal, second if you took your distributor out to do intake, you may have a crank and cam sensor correlation issue, if you cap and rotor had been off the truck during repair check the contacts for corrosion , I left my cap and rotor off for 2 days and the air oxidized the inside cap not allowing proper spark, do not use fuel treatment additives they can cause false readings at the 02 sensor, if you have a code scanner see if you get codes

Did the manufacturer help you out? I have the same issue. My fuel line is leaking.

Clean any dirt or oil off of the surface you are going to apply the gasket. I think it would stick better then rather than if it had a coating of smoke on it.

Just consider the stop leak as 1 quart of oil and you will be good. It has stopped all leaks for me.

This was for the Idiot light. It also wont let the truck run when it failed. Normal oil pressure is a permissive for the computer to sent fuel to the injectors
