How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?

We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :

If the gas cap is still leaking after replacing the gas cap, your problem is probably being caused by a warped or broken fuel tank. Fuel tanks can get warped if they are overheated or come into contact with hot materials. You will likely need to replace the fuel tank unit if it continues to leak.
Oil leaking from a Chainsaw is a common occurrence and does not signify an issue with your chainsaw. Oil is pumped through grooves around the chain bar to ensure the chain and bar are lubricated correctly. Therefore it`s common and expected for a chainsaw to have oil left in these grooves after use.
A loose gas cap will not only let in grime and dirt, but it can allow fuel vapors to escape the fuel tank.
To avoid your chainsaw from leaking oil whist in storage, the best solution is to drain the chainsaw of its bar oil and fuel mix and store the chainsaw empty.
If too much oil is being applied to the chain and bar, it could pick up debris more easily, which could make the chainsaw cut less efficiently and also pose a safety risk as the debris is more likely to fly off the chainsaw at any time.
You should always use the recommended specification oils. Can you actually use vegetable oil as a substitute for chainsaw oil? The short answer is you can but it`s not without some pros and cons of which you should properly consider before adding some cooking oil into your chainsaw!
Motor Oil

Motor oil makes a decent occasional oil substitute for your chainsaw. Apart from its common use in every garage, it has the perfect viscosity and lower flammability.

Biodegradable Bar and Chain Oil.
Bad Gas, What are the Symptoms? If you`ve inspected the gas cap, the problems you are having may be due to contaminated fuel. If a car, truck, or SUV has trouble starting, will not accelerate, or just is not running smoothly, then it`s possible you just have a contaminated tank of gas.
What concerns can a loose gas cap cause, well a check engine light? A non-secure gas cap will not only let in dirt and grime, but it can allow fuel vapors to escape. These fuel vapors can produce an error in the emissions system, which could light up the check engine light.
Do not overtighten your gas cap. Listen for one click and stop, otherwise you can damage the seal and your check engine light may come on. Never buy aftermarket or locking gas caps. They do not seal properly most of the time and may cause your check engine light to come on.
A loose gas cap will not only let fuel vapors escape, but it can also let in dirt and grime. These vapors can cause an error in the emissions system, which could light up the check engine light. Grime that gets into the fuel tank can also damage the fuel injectors over time.
This chainsaw features an oil-free function to make operation and maintenance as simple as possible. The chainsaw includes a SAFE-T-TIP that should be installed prior to use for safe operation. As part of the RYOBI 18-Volt ONE+ platform, it is compatible with all 18-Volt ONE+ batteries and chargers.
For longer-term storage, laying the chainsaw on its side on a shelf is your best bet. Release the pressure first when unscrewing the caps, then empty all fuel. This will prevent any further leakage onto your shelf.
The most common cause of a fuel leak is a worn or damaged fuel tank. Over time, the walls of the tank can become thin and brittle, which can lead to holes and cracks. This can be caused by exposure to the elements, such as sun and rain, or by physical damage, such as from an accident.

Fuel leaks happen over time because the fuel tank rots, gets old, or fails. If this happens, the entire thank may need to be replaced. It is much better to have a safe tank than one that is a fire hazard. Some fuel leaks happen because of a small hole in the fuel tank.
Nothing to worry about. The hiss is a normal phenomenon, ideally keep the tanks at more than 1/2 full to keep the fume formation and vapor loss at check. Hiss means your fuel tank vapor system is working properly and not releasing harmful fumes out.
