My Ryobi weedeater leaks about as much gas as it uses thanks to the “press fit” fuel lines going into the bottom of the plastic (polyethylene??) fuel tank. I have had to replace the gas lines several times as they crumble to nothingness (thank you, E10), but between replacements the “press fit” leaks just gets worse as the hose takes a set. Anyone come up with a fix for this? (I am almost thinking about plugging up the holes in the bottom and drilling two new holes in the top and running the hoses through those. What would I use to seal the bottom holes?)
(I cannot believe that a manufacturer can get away with such shoddy design for a consumer product. I wonder how many fires have been caused by these leaks.)
