Stihl BG55 fuel tank leak

[Pitt]

My Stihl BG55 blower has a fuel tank leak that I cannot locate.
Appears to get a new tank I have to buy a right half “body” shell.
Any idea where they leak and any options to seal it?

Could be a fuel tank leak but I would be looking very closely to the fuel line and fuel tank grommets at the tank junction. I think that would be more likely the leak area.

May take some UV dye to find the leak.

My BG86 Stihl blower fuel tank started leaking after 16 years. I plastic welded it because it was my blower. Would have replaced tank for a customer.

How did you plastic weld it?
