Okay, I have a push lawn mower with a Briggs & Stratton 300 engine that has a problem. While it's running, fuel starts coming out from around the gas cap. The tank is NOT overfilled, that's the first thing I checked. The gasket inside the cap is intact and seated properly, and the cap tightens down solidly. The fuel tank itself is tightened down tight to the engine frame. Is it likely to be the cap or the fuel tank itself, or something different altogether?
Also if it is a cap, and I want to replace it, how do you get the cap out of the tank? In other words it's attached to the inside of the tank on a long piece of plastic.
Any thoughts?
