    Service & Maintenance Question last edited February 10, 2012 by roger cummons in Husqvarna: Ask & Answer > Leaf Blowers public
    I have a backpack blower mod # 145bt that my father-in-law bought about 3 years ago. It has always leaked gas from the gas cap. I have bought 2 new caps, and broke 2 caps, trying to solve this problem. From what I read on the Internet this was a common problem with this model. And yes the cap does have the rubber seal in it. It seems like a waste to have such a nice blower sitting around not being used because of gas leaking all over you when using it. Is there a fix for this? Thanks for your time and help.

    Parts Question last edited February 10, 2012 by roger cummons in Husqvarna: Ask & Answer > Leaf Blowers public
    Question:
    I have a backpack blower model BT145 and it leaks gas from the cap. It is my understanding that the material used for the cap breather/seal is breaking down because of ethanol gas. It is also my understanding that the original part is no longer available and has been replaced with a different material and part#. No the gas tank is not damaged. Do your own search and find that this is a common problem. I would like Husqvarna to replace the part at no charge to me. Can you help?
