The product, in the report: Poulan Pro lawn tractor, Model PPR2042ST, Serial #020702D01378, manufacturer’s ID#PPR20425TA, purchased at Sears
This is a resubmittal of a report I started a few minutes ago as it was accidentally submitted before completion.
We own a Poulan Pro lawn tractor, Model #PPR2042ST, Serial #020702D010378, Mfr. ID #PPR20425TA. The plastic gas tank on the lawn tractor failed at the horizontal seam, allowing gasoline to leak into the engine compartment. The seam failure is not visible and can only be detected by the odor of gasoline and watching the gas tank after filling more than half full (allowing the gasoline level to rise above the seam line) and observing the tank to see the gas flow out around the seam. This is a potential fire hazard; fortunately we noticed the problem and replaced the tank before a dangerous situation occurred. We do not know how long this problem existed with gas tank before it was detected. We found recalls on the Poulan Pro gas tanks from the 2000-2001 time period, but these recalls were for gas tanks that cracked, not where the seam failed.
