Leaky Skidoo Fuel Tank
« on: May 08, 2023, 08:45:50 AM »
Good morning.  We have a 1989 Skidoo in the shop.  One of the projects was to get rid of dried out fuel lines and eliminate fuel leaks.  We got everything taken care of and then found that the rubber grommet in the fuel tank was leaking fuel.

Has anyone had any experience with these? I am hoping that there is a simple solution to this problem.

from the picture it looks similar to the generic rubber tank pickup that I see in a lot of applications. if so, here's a link to the ones that I've used from whalbros

You bet, I have repaired some in the past with gasket maker, but its temporary.
