I actually purchased this because my blower/leaf vac was leaking fuel. I disassembled the fuel tank and checked it for leaks, but it was fine. The blower ran fine,,, but the fuel was siphoning out of the tank until it was completely empty, and I still don't know why. After a week, no more leaking, but I will update if this changes. All that is left is to change the carburetor if it leaks again. This assembly is complete and preassembled. An American sized Allen key is required to remove all the screws to get the tank out, and a small socket wrench to remove the air cleaner assembly from the carburetor (CAREFUL not to lose the 2 carb gaskets!) Replacement is relatively straightforward, but I ran into a few difficulties: 1 - The allen screw at the bottom of the tank is hard to reach, a multi-tool allen wrench may not be long enough, you may need an old school right-angle allen key. 2 -- The tank is a SNUG fit, and I had to muscle the tank out of its little space. 3-- The tank grommet is a VERY tight fit, and took a lot of effort to get into place. I replaced this assembly because my blower was leaking fuel during storage. I checked the tank for leaks, and determined that it was siphoning every last drop out of the tank. I am replacing the lines first and will try the carb next if that fails. Damn ethanol fuel...
