gritsnham Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 My stike master tank has a slow but sure leak around the seal between the upper and lower section of of the gas tank. I brought it inside today to change the blades out and this is the first time I ever noticed it leak. Just wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem it is 3 years old but never heard of anyone else having a leaky gas tank.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprman Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I had something similar happen last year on an older Strikemaster - except mine wasn't a slow leak. I had drained the gas before storing, but the gas cap was on tight and I wonder if enough pressure built up when it got hot during the summer to pop the seam. I make sure the cap isn't screwed on tight when I store it now.I called hardware stores listed on Strikemasters HSOforum until I found one that had a new tank in stock. I think it was about 30$. I've used two part epoxy for plastic fuel tanks in the past with mixed results - didn't go that way this time cause I was leaving town for a weekend of fishing when I found the problem.

gritsnham Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Would silicone sealant or super glue fix the problem? Im so depressed about this right now...so early in the year and problems already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard617 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I personally would call strikemaster. they would probably just send you a new one. They do have awesome customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritsnham Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 I will try that then a great idea...my warranty is obviously up though and they sell them so I wonder if they would be willing to send me one for free...worth a try though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhjr Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 It's worth a shot to give them a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
