Anyone have issues with the fuel lines leaking at the tank (both lines).?I will call the manufacturer and see how good the warranty is!

Yes. It's a great blower but it does have a problem with the fuel lines. I changed mine to silicone line that I got from a local small engine repair place. The silicone is a lot more resistant to ethanol fuel than the original line, so it will probably last longer.

Did the manufacturer help you out? I have the same issue. My fuel line is leaking.
296346
Yes! Purchased brand new and after about 2 months of usage the fuel line had turned from its pinkish color to a blackish brown and had dissolved at the tank end. I was told that the TruFuel pre-mixed stuff I was using was too potent for the fuel line so I've moved to a gas/oil mix. I purchased a new fuel line from ereplacements for about $5. Have had no problem for the last year with the new line, and use of reg. gas/oil.

The fuel line and the fuel return line fail continually. I buy them three or four at a time and just keep them around. They're not expensive and are no problem to replace.

Simple answer: look at more than 130 complaints-customer reviews 3* and less.

Yes, fuel line cracked; then piston locked up; can not reach customer service-on 'hold' for > hour. Unacceptable!!

I would have to agree, it sounds like the gasket isn't sealing properly. Just be sure there is no obstruction in either the lid vent or the vent hole of the weight. Mine has worked very well with no problems for a while now. Sounds like the seal isn't quite aligning.

Leaking could be that the tanks are not sitting right. Take them off and place them back in again making sure it is sitting in right.

Is it possible that you have a regulator on the tank and at the grill? If so remove one. Never alter gas fittings, they are made that way for a reason.

The unit is still in for repair. The tank pressure gauge didn't work when I first pulled it out of the box. I would be very interested to see if I get an after market replacement gauge when I get it back.

I have this facet, I had to tighten the hose so it won't leak. I would call them at Amazon to fine out if its a leak or just need's to be tighten. Or just call Light In The Box they should be able to advise you the route to go.

I have not encountered this issue with my grill, however this sounds like a faulty tank or a bad regulator. In my past I have seen tanks do this. I suggest trying a different tank and see if that works.

There was a leaked but my husband pushed the tank in harder and it hasn't leaked since.Make sure that the tank is all the way in. Push down on it but be gentle. A great buy saved me nearer $800

I've had no problem with mine at all. This includes all points where the gas line and carburetor might leak. Certainly if you strain the gas line or damage the unit, there may be a problem. I always would suggest that the line is shut off and carburetor drained out by running to minimize any possible leaks and start up problems when the unit is put into storage. the units that were a problem were generally smaller than this one, although I still think 'operator error' may have been a significant part of the problem.

it was working okay in the beginning. 1 of the tanks started to leak after the warranty expired. I contacted the manufacturer to let them know what happened and all I got was the warranty ran out and nothing was done.

Check the fuel line to make sure there are no cracks etc. Also, the bowl of the carb has a float valve and might have come off during shipping. Check that.

I just got one and it leaked out the hole in the back. I found the problem to be the way the tank was molded. The ribs in the tank shrink more during the molding process, so the area where the round rubber seal hits the tank isn't flat, hence the leak. I bought some epoxy for plastic and put it in the grooves where the seal hits. That seems to have stopped the leak even with a full tank of water. The epoxy cost about $6 at hardware. After the epoxy started to harden, I scraped off excess and the sanded with fine sandpaper to make smooth. It took 1/2 hr to do but worth the effort. I hope this helps someone that is frustrated with the unit.

My JD x320 ridin lawn mower did similar thing. Small crack in the (cheap, disposable, flimsy) fuel filter. Any leak in fuel line allowing excess air into the gasoline could do same. Auto parts stores have compatible fuel filters if JD is a little pricey or inconvenient. I Hope this helps. Atlanta.

it may be getting air in the have you tried spraying the line with soapy water like a Dawn type detergent and water and if it bubbles then you know that air in the line and possibly a leak spray water where heater hooks up at in at the propane tank hookups.. I had this happen to me it was my regulator getting air... I hope this help..

Prob better to go through your gas first. Sounds like you have a rusty tank tho. It'll def work for your problem

I. have the same condition. This winter it was running 24 h for days at a time. Checked to see if 'dead spot' was leaking propane using bbq lighter. No leak detected. Mine is 2 yrs old with very heavy usage this winter so I can't tell if this is normal wear.In any case it seemed to provide same amt. of heat as when new and cylinders lasted about same time.
