Kawasaki th23 hedge trimmer

[Surealunreal]

I have a Kawasaki th23 hedge trimmer and even after replacing the tank, fuel pipes and filter and grommet it still appears to be leaking from either the holes in grommet where pipes go through or round the grommet where it fits in the tank.

Any help or advice in relation to this or where I may find help would be gratefully appreciated 

Many thanks

Hey, have you tried blanking the pipes off and spraying soapy water around the grommets/pipes and then blow in to the tank from the cap and see where the bubbles come from. With all them new parts it could be a small crack in the tank.

Are the pipes a tight fit in the grommet? And is the Grommet a tight fit in the tank?

Most likely the grommet has shrunk, like the other bloke said, pressurising the tank and putting a bit of bubbly water around the union will soon find the leak.

I would have said the same if it wasn't for the OP saying it was replaced along with new pipes etc.   I'm wondering if perhaps the wrong grommet, or it was damaged while fitting.

Probably cocked up on fuel pipe diameter or wrong grommet. Got to be one or the other!
