Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Hello All,

I have a Toro 20071 walk behind 22" lawn mower that was purchased about 11 months ago.  The fuel tank has developed a crack just above the seam that is nearly 12" long.  A Google search showed that this problem cropped up long ago and was due to improper tank bonding/melting at the factory.  Is this common now-a-days?  Can I deal directly with Toro or Tecumseh to fix this, or do I really have to drop the mower off at an authorized dealer?  It's only a $350 mower, so it seems silly that I can't just work with Toro and have a new tank shipped my way.

Thanks for the help,

-Dan
