That is a fuel tank vent kit. Most models have a vent in the fuel cap but that model uses a separate line with a Duck bill vent (usually a green rubber inside that piece in picture). Part number for that is 574859301 . Your blower should run ok with out it but could leak fuel. If you are going to order any parts for your blower do so using Model # PPBP30 Your parts will be cheaper. That particular model has exchanged hands between MTD/Mcculloch/Bolens and Husqvarna/Poulan over the years. The parts are cheaper when you use the Husqvarna/Poulan model # PPBP30. Only noticeable difference will be a yellow starter housing if you buy a starter assembly.
Some fuel tanks will have a black rubber grommet that have holes for the fuel lines to go into, if your holes are in the tank itself, then no, there's no grommet. And if that's the case ,your lines are not the correct outer diameter. There are multiple sizes of fuel lines. In my shop I have multiple sizes, if you don't have that kinda stock, you're better off either ordering the ones of a parts drawing of your model or simply take your unit and old lines to the closest small engine shop and have them match em up, u actually can just bring the tank with ya.
Also, make sure that the vent for the fuel tank is working. the vent is either on the fuel cap itself or thru a device commonly known as a duck bill valve, so named because of the shape of the valve. All the vent does is allow a slight amount of air to enter the tank while the trimmer is running.
Sounds like fuel line problem. Empty fuel tank,remove black fuel line grommet,check for line break or disconnection.If line is broken , purchase fuel line kit with grommet as a set if lines or grommet are deteriorated.
sounds like a filler tube grommet....? filler tube hoses r normally 2 to 3 inches in diameter.purge hoses r way smaller like 5/16 or 3/8 inch diam. these smaller hoses have connections mayb plastic with clips, they usually have rubber o rings on the inside of fittings ,may have rotted /cracked orings
I don't think there is any way to tighten or repair leak other then by replacing grommet. sorry I'm not much help but coleman powermate is no longer in business and I have had no sucess in finding a source for parts for you.Thank you and good luck.
You probably have a defective fuel-tank selector valve. Its located on the left frame rail, halfway down. While the vehicle is running, tank"A" is pumping fuel to the engine, while tank "B" is getting the unneeded fuel that is returning from the engine. Thats why it is overflowing.
