My TO30 slowly loses fuel. The fuel flow thumb device definitely shuts off. I thought it might be losing fuel where the tank is bolted to the tractor, so I removed it. There appears to be no holes in the tank nor any dents of any kind. I'm reluctant to fill the tank with water to try and find the leak.
The only thing that is looking obvious is where the sediment bowl is attached to the tank. I noticed that it seemed loose. I could turn it about 1/8 of a turn by hand. This leaves the pipe from the bowl up against the rear of the valve cover. Is there supposed to be a washer used there? There wasn't one, nor does it looks like it should. I looked into replacing the sediment bowl, buts this website shows two different kinds and I'm not sure which one I need. TO serial number 131450.
Any thoughts on this.
