Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20110413-5257D-2147480227. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Toro Toro Rake and Vac model 51585. Source model text: Toro recycler lawn mower model 20073. Incident: Toro recycler lawn mower, model 20073. These mowers and also other models with the same fuel tanks develope fuel leaks at the seam on the tanks. These are attached direct to the back of the engine. This could be a potential fire or explosive hazard with the fuel leaking. I have just put on my fourth tank in 3 years with the mower. Toro never would answer or pay for the tanks. I see many complaints on the web for the same issue.
