The gas from my fuel tank is leaking in 2 places. All that I have is the black tube that came with the kit im using connected from the nozzle from the filter to the nozzle on the carb.

What can I do to stop the leaking? (I DO have teflon tape around the connector from the filter to the tank)

I circled the 2 areas where there are leaks in the pic below

Thanks for the help

I would use hose clamps. Can cut off the excess to neaten it up a bit. 99 cents or so at a hardware store

Yes those- also the connection at the top looks like it isn't pushed in, and the hose looks cut crooked.

Also some gasket sealer may help- gasket sealer on the carb threads helps with leaks there too. A thin plastic gasket cut from some container lid to size and placed UNDER the rubber cap gasket will stop leaks there too.

If a clamp will not fit in the area of the leak, use a small zip tie. I used a zip tie where my fuel line meets the carb
