The product, in the report: eskimo ice auger model, mako m43
on january 27,2012 i purchased a eskimo mako m43 ice auger, ser #47296. from the first time i used the auger i always noticed a few drips of gasoline in the snow when i laid the auger down. february 9th, 2015 after filling the tank i noted the gas was leaking quite a bit from somewhere. i could not see where the gas was coming from, so i ordered a new gas tank from eskimo. when i received the new tank the first thing i noticed was the tank design was changed. after i replaced the tank, i filled the old tanki with water and found the leak was a nut imbedded in the plastic tank. since this is behind the bracket that holds the tank i could see why i couldn’t tell where the gas was coming from. if i had been using the ice auger when the gas starting leaking as severly as it was, this would have most likely resulted in a fire and possible explosion. the warranty on this item is 2 years, which has expired; but it is now quite obvious to me that the tank was defective from the factory because of the changes made to the new tank. anyone who has the old type of tank is most likely in danger of becoming severly burned.
