Toro 22 Inch 20071 Fuel Tank Leak

My 2007 model has developed a leak in the fuel tank. It seems to be a crack where the tank seam is. Anyone else having the same problem? This problem has cropped up before with Toro. The engine is produced by Tecumseh and Toro says it is a Tecumseh problem. Seems Tecumseh has sold their power engine division to a company called Certified Parts. All I get is the runaround from both companies. The fuel tank is on back-order which leads me to think that others are having the same problem. The mower has been sitting in the repair shop since mid-May and it is going nowhere fast. I recommend any others with the same problem to start contacting Toro to get them off their butts. Also, contact the Consumer Products Safety Commission to report the problem. A recall may be in order if this problem is wide spread. Thanks Everyone |

I purchased my Toro 22 inch recycler lawn mower in April of 2007. The fuel tank last week started to leak at the seal too. The Model number is 20071 and serial no. 270098455. Does anyone know how I can get Toro to fix this issue? Thanks for any info.

I have a Toro 20073 with a fuel tank leak at the seam and I followed RDGUS's instructions (see below). I just got a new fuel tank in the mail today!!!! Totally free with free shipping!!!!! It took less than a week to receive it. I'm doing a happy dance right now :-). Now, I just have to figure out how to take off the old one and install the new one. Wish me luck! I have this issue with my Toro #20073 Recycler 3 & 1 mower and I called the company (Certified Parts Corp) that took over for Tecumseh when they went out of business. They referred me to an EMail address that you can contact to get a free replacement gas tank. You have to take pictures of the engine ID decal and EMail to: tankshiper@gmail.com. The valid Date of Mfg (DOM) range is 07001Gxxxxxxx to 07120Gxxxxxx. I have not reciev4ed the new one yet but have received confirmation of receipt. Excerpt from acknowledgment: Thank you for your request. Please submit the required information as specified in Service Bulletin # 506. After we recieve the required information, a new tank will be mailed to you via first class mail. Thank You. CBD Services LLC |
