Post  Godsey3.0 Fri Dec 16, 2011 4:31 pm

Hello everyone. I have a fuel tank on a Babe Bee wanna bee that leaks fuel. It is set up as a diesel and with the leak it gets about 45 second run. Anyone have a tank they are willing to sell? Or can someone fix my tank?

Jacob do you see any area where your tank has corroded?
It at the out lip where it seals at the backplate it could be ground a little further to get a good seal.

Jacob, If you find where it is leaking we could probably get you what you need.

It could be in a number of places.

1. Between the tank and crankcase - new gasket

2. Between the tank and backplate - deformed part, or use Black Permatex along the seal.

3. Under the backplate screws - use Permatex under the screw heads, and make sure they are not too long.

4. Possibly the venturi - check NV assembly etc.

Hope this helps.

I think the backplate is cracked near one of the ears. I will have to check tomorrow. It smells of ether and it is dark so I cannot check.

Lol. The engine is actually in a baggy beside me right now. The bag stops all of the fumes. I was considering putting some fuel in a bag, shaking it around the lighting it from a distance.
