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 have never had a problem with the unit leaking. Just make sure the tanks are seated properly before you begin.

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.

http://www.absak.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/24_78_84Be sure to replace all of the gaskets and do nor over tighten the four nuts on the end of the pump. I have delt whit these folks for several years, and found them to be fast and fair.

We've had our Jura for 6+ years and the tank has never leaked. Where is it leaking from? It may be a gasket or you may need a new tank :( I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.

The smaller black circle in the middle of the picture has the threaded hole to place your fitting depending on your model. This is an example: http://www.amazon.com/Atwood-8897-6-Fuel-Fitting-Thread/dp/B00K8DB8IC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1425500023&sr=8-6&keywords=brass+fitting+for+fuel+tank of a plug used. The tank does not come with a quick disconnect installed. I learned this when it showed up. Good luck.

I had those same numbers on my briggs fuel tank so I followed the instructions of William C Francis and I found these numbers on the engine model 12V802- Type -1783-BI- Code 01022259. My mower is a Yardman 12A-569T401. So with that info can anyone tell if this fuel tank will work for that mower? I am assuming yours is the same Krissie?

I had a similar issue with a Rhino tank. However, mine would connect, but it leaked. I bought some yellow gas line tape and wrapped the connection on the tank 3 or 4 times - no more leak issues.

The one I got was vented (the cap has a screw type vent), but the fuel line did not swivel as advertised. Additionally, it does leak out of the fuel line during storage when going through temperature changes...I seem to have this problem with a completely different metal tank, so I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing (or not doing correctly).

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...

We've not had any issues with ours leaking. I think the leaking problems were in earlier model years, ours hasn't has any issues.

If the fuel has gone bad then you need to drain and replace with fresh fuel. That point on I would recommend using Lucas to keep the rest of the fuel system clean.

The petcocks are poor quality and leak... On my generator (same manufacturer different branding) the gas made it's way past the petcock and the pressure even overcame the float flooding the crankcase.. Simple fix.. Aftermarket inline fuel shutoff valve $5-7 cut the line install and done .I also use this to shut down the generator not the on off switch, and run the carburetor dry each time.

I did not have a leaking problem. Check all the connections and points where parts meet. I did install a shutoff in the gas line and each time I shut the unit off I turn off the gas and let it run dry, this helps reduce build up in the carburetor and hopefully will make the unit run well for a long time.

I also had replaced mine since the tank leaked. Not sure of the model number; however, I understand that this model does tend to leak. Good luck!
