Gas Cap Leaking

[tezzy]

I just purchased a 52/20 FasTrak about 60 days ago. I love the mower but both gas tanks are leaking out the caps. Filled less than 2/3 full and still have same problem. I can just park it outside and the gas will leak out the caps. Anyone else having this problem? I thought the gas cap leaking was an old problem that had been resolved.

I purchased my 52/20 about the same time and am having the same problem.

I had the same problem, go to your dealer and advise them of the problem, they will give you some replacements. I have had no problems since I changed mine out..

[tezzy]

Did they replace with a different type of cap or did they just give you new ones of the same cap?

It was a different type of cap than what was on there, but it works fine, no leaks since I replaced them..

If you have gas coming out your caps, call your dealer immediately and get new caps.

Went to dealer to get new gas caps. Dealer took two off a new mower that was sitting on the showroom floor? They were the exact same cap. Is the fix a different style cap or just keep trying the same ones till you find some that don't leak?

I have a 52/24 and my gas caps leak bad. I have advised my dealer about it 3 weeks ago and still have no answer on getting the new ones.

The replacement caps look a bit different, we had a few different ones, and a couple looked alike.
If these still leak, make sure your dealer gets new ones from his distributor.

My caps have been replaced 3 times. The last time I had to pay and they all leak. The trick is, don't park the mower on a hill or incline when tanks are any where near full and don't leave the mower in the sun or it will expand out the cap.

I talked to my dealer today because i had to get a new throttle cable my old one the nylon button wore out. He talked to the rep for our area and he said that an update for the gas caps hasn't come out yet. The dealer asked if i could get a part # for it.

I have a super z with the new caps. At the bottom of each tank there is a shut off. I always have one off and one on. This and the new gas caps has fixed my problems.
