Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Craftsman log splitter leaking gas, briggs and stratton, plastic welder

Question
I have a craftsman log splitter with a Briggs and Stratton Engine. When I put the gas into the tank it runs right out onto the ground. I can't seem to locate where it is coming out from. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Answer
HI

IS THE FUEL COMMING OUT OF TANK ONLY  OR THE FUEL LINES FROM THE TANK TO CARB  OR OUT THE CARB  

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TANK MAY BE SPLIT  - IS THE FUEL LEAK A SLOW  LEAK OR QUITE FAST
COULD POSSIBLY BE ON A SEAM  OR SOMETHING HAS PUNCTURED IT  

COULD TRY  REMOVING TANK AND USING WATER WITH A LIITLE FOOD COLORING IN IT  
MIGHT MAKE IT EASER TO LOCATE HOLE ?

IF DO THIS  BE SURE TO RINSE TANK AND  BLOW WITH COMPRESSED AIR AND LET DRY  

IF A SPLIT  COULD PROBERLY GET A PLASTIC WELDER TO WELD BACK UP

HOPE IT HELPS
