Curse of the Auger

[N.E.T.O.]

My auger starts ok, always has, (4 years old now) but my complaint is the GAS TANK. Right out of the box it leaked. I could clearly see that the tank filler neck had a notch accidentally cut into it, so I contacted Ardisam and told them the situation. I clearly asked for a new TANK...so they sent me a new gas cap. I called again and yelled this time (I have very little patience for incompentency) and this time I got a new tank AND a new gas cap. So if you are keeping score, that means I have 2 tanks and 3 gas caps. Well, even the new tank didn't seal very well, and one of the new gas caps they sent me didn't have the rubber inside of it...anyway, long story short, I have lived with a leaky auger for 4 years now. My semi-working gas cap finally cracked last weekend, (which REALLY made it leak fuel..) so I ponied up and bought the new $9.00 cap at Sportsmans...which doesn't screw tightly enough onto the tank. Sheesh.

I'm just about ready to fabricate my own gas tank system for the my auger.

Thats my only complaint. OK, I've vented now...much like my gas tank on my auger vents inside my vehicle every weekend...
