almighty15 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 My Baja grommet is leaking and it needs to stop.... It's not leaking from where the pipe goes in but from the actual tank itself..... So what can I use?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Ive never found anything that lasts as the petrol eats everything lol. Is it a genuine HPI ??? If not maybe a genuine grommet will be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almighty15 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 I've had it in and out quite a few times so think I may have nakard the seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I once put a ring of hot glue round one of mine, did it twice in fact and it held up a bit but eventually let go. For what it's worth, just buy another as Dave suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I've often tried to find them separately but to no avail sadly. You've always got some spare fuel lines then though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almighty15 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 I can buy a brand new tank complete with new grommet and fuel lines for less then these fuel line kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The point is, your clone one is leaking, so you'll have to pay the price for a genuine one and not have a leaking grommet anymore lol. Or look for something genuine and second hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm aware it didn't leak before you took it out... But I've had a HPI one in that with all this recent engine swapping from this pile of junk I bought, it must have been in and out 30 times... No leaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
