Eskimo Gas tank
« on: Nov 09, 2017, 06:12 AM »
I found a leak in my shark eskimo auger gas tank. when i removed it to check i found it leaked through the mounting screws. (difficult to fix) so I ordered a new one from the canadian distributer.
Fast service 4 days. The new tank came and it was a complete design change, it came as a kit, tank mounting plate, gas cap, feul line. After mounting it worked great.  the auger was 6 years old and I see (internet) that a lot of others had the same problem, hence the design change.
Just passing this along for anyone who had the same problem.
Cheers sig (ron) sends.

Sorry, but the tank is mounted now, to look at it you can`t see much.  the tank comes with a new mounting bracket. the tank has mounting tabs on it so no bolts go into the tank. The old bracket comes off (allen keys) some are tight to get off but it went on ok. the cost for the kit was $61.
Cheers sig.
