Default Sediment Bowl
What's the proper way to tighten the sediment bowl on the gas tank? When I screw it in, it's not tight, but you can't go another complete turn. It is leaking because of this. I just noticed this yesterday, when I saw gas on my new paint. The paint wasn't hard enough, and it just rubbed off. I know there's a way, but I can't figure it out. BTW, this is on my O.

There should be flats next to the threads to put a wrench on. The threads are aluminum and you should be able to get another turn on it with a wrench. Make sure to thread tape it as well and wrap the tape in the direction of the threads otherwise it will just unwind the tape.

Yes, I can get a wrench on it. What kind of tape do you use?

Teflon thread tape . Any hardware store will have it. It's about a buck a roll. About two full wraps with the tape and you should be good to go.

Thank you very much. Can't ruin anymore of my new paint. When tightening the bowl, there's not a chance of messing the gas tank up are there?

The only way you'll hurt the tank is if you over tighten it.

I think the tape will help a little. I will just have to drain the tank, and take the bowl off and try again.

When you wrap the teflon tape make sure you wrap it tight and wrap it in the direction the threads are going.

Also make sure the tape doesn't cover the bottom of the hole where the gas comes out.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
