To stop the newer "round body" Stihl backpack fogger from leaking pesticide down your back, replace the positive pressure 3/8"id x 1/2"od x 10" tycoon tubing line inside the tank and double up on the rubber gaskets with the smooth sides facing one another. Better than new.

Love the first person video, but would be great if you would talk through what you think or is happening

Thank you for your input. 👍

[@odessa72]

is it leaking fuel or product?

[@MarkCorbett33]

Product leak.

[@odessa72]

@@MarkCorbett33 I was trying to troubleshoot the one I use for work. didn't know if yours had the same problem. It's a Stihl-200. it was leaking fuel (just got it out of the shop today -> after realizing that trying to fix it was WAY above my skill level). thank you for your response, Mark!

Did you ever fix the leak? If so , how?

[@alongsideservice3178]

New gasket under the product tank put in the correct direction.

[@billywiswall6233]

The gasket and whole sealing system that Sthil has for this system is very poor. Thank you for getting back to me.

@@alongsideservice3178 thank you! Ours has been doing this ever since we got it serviced for a recall.

I was just using mine heard a pop sound and started pouring all over me.

@@SeanCum732 You are not alone. Wednesday I was up in the woods working and suddenly had glyphosate and sulfometuron methyl down my crack. I barely used this thing!
