Silicon grease on both gromet and shutoff valve stem makes it a simple task at least for me on my Generac portable generator. Original gromet was cracked and just about fell out. Hardest part is pushing the shutoff valve back in after installing the gromet. I was intending on using the silicone paste but watched your video which reinforced my thoughts. worked like a charm. Thanks for the video..

[@nashguy207]

Thanks for the tip Buddy. They are tough to put in dry!

[@jjjuarez312]

Clean the whole damn unit!! The customer will be happy and proud of the extra mile the service Technician went it really says a lot about his work ethics

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Calm down boy scout. Context matters here. Who said it didn’t get clean? Every unit gets washed after the tech is done with repairs. No need to use profane language and attack me when you know not

[@jjjuarez312]

Yes the HANDS OF STEEL!!!! Great video 📹 Jeremy. Thank you sir...

I was so tickled to see you use the Silicone Lubricant (Not Caulk). My background is in Broadcast Engineering where I learned to use the Silicone Lubricant. Rubber O Rings are used in Transmission Lines that must be air and water tight. The Silicone Lubricant keeps them that way.

[@miketruckermike292]

question How do you install a new fuel line that goes into the tank on to the elbow??

[@Rebel9668]

Hope it fits mine, lol. I have a horizontal shaft 4hp Tecumseh engine with a metal gas tank on an Ariens sno-thro made back in 1965. The old grommet doesn't leak, but the shutoff valve connected to it does. I just ordered a whole kit. New grommet, valve, line and fuel filter.

[@mikerequa820]

Great video! Actually I have a Husqvarna yth2448 mower I've replaced carb fuel pump filter air filter fuel filter still runs for little while then dies so I went to install a shut off inline found mine line had a pin hole so it's all apart got tank out gonna replace the grommet also. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun

[@ElRipper100]

Having same problem. I don think its the lines becasue the bowl always has gas in it. I drain some to ck fuel. I replaced the carb kit except for the 2 o rings on jets. The jets looked fine with a magnify glass. The coil isnt quitting bc I put a light on it and still sparks after it dies. WTF? Briggs commerical 25 hp on ZTrac.

[@kevinfoster1957]

I did it the way you said not to. However, the main thing you taught me is to use silicone. Thanks

[@conradyoder6897]

KZbin for the WIN!! Thank you!!!

[@robbieculver3971]

Thanks! Exactly what I needed!

[@kathygroves5540]

The only video showing to put the grommet in first So much easier

[@jamesrooney7689]

i was just going to do that and put the whole thing in and not fitting first can i use a rubber hose or i have to lift up the back of tank >>

[@georgestrickland9278]

finally got mine in the tank by using vasoline on it,still wasn't easy

[@The-Armed-Pacifist]

Tanks a lot!

[@dogbreath203]

As per an expert on small engines he told me there's actuall two sizes - 1/2" and 9/16" (for the Kohler Magnum engines). Is this correct?

[@MrHanowski]

Why not use the orange ones made of Viton which resist ethanol fuel better than black rubber.

[@frankbullitt4556]

just like mine. thank you

[@damianromo7051]

What else can you use other than silicone paste? WD40, any lubricant? If the rubber bushing is damaged (& the gas tank is not sealed properly). Is that the reason why I could not start my riding lawnmower because the gas won't get to the engine?

[@AshleyCregeur]

Don't put wd40 on anything rubber.

[@OneTrueSteve]

I ordered the grommets linked here. They did not fit my craftsman dys4500. They were too big.

[@dogbreath203]

I think there's two sizes, 9/16" and 1/2"

[@erichwoodall2897]

Thank you so much

[@Joshuamorris81]

What is the hard line that goes through the grommet called? The one that goes inside the gas tank. All I can find is the line that goes from the tank to the pump

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

The technical term is called fuel fitting

[@Joshuamorris81]

@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 awesome thank you 👍

[@BonafideToolJunkie]

Yeah, my generator started leaking like a sieve. Had to collect 2.5 gallons in a bucket. That can be a very hazardous situation.

[@tasmaniandevil7610]

Hey thanks December 2024

[@nopriors]

Does Ethanol fuel effect these?

[@philliphall5198]

Kinda

Kiss that tank bye. Brake cleaner on plastic will crack it over time
