I bought a Spear & Jackson petrol hedgetrimmer from Argos and because I
don't have the receipt the 'help desk' won't help, even with advice. I
might be out of time anyway as they apply a 2year cut-off.

The problem is petrol leaks from the place where the petrol tube leaves
the tank to go to the engine. I tried surrounding it with bluetack but
the petrol dissolves this.

I wonder has anyone found a simple solution to this problem, or have a
sensible suggestion?





Don't waste your time trying to fix a leaking petrol pipe.
I would advise you to get a parts list from S&J for your model and order a
new one. The model number will be displayed somewhere on the plastic body
of your trimmer. Parts are designed, I think, to be unrepairable. And
possibly designed to fail prematurely!
