I just noticed that gas is leaking where a metal/ aluminium tube inserts into the gas tank... There is a seal on the tank ...I was thinking of putting gasket sealer all around this but I am not sure it will stick if gas is leaking all over it...

What is this piece called?

 

Bummer -- You probably need to replace that big gas tank grommet. Not expensive, but a PITA.

 

Do you mean this?

Ya thats what it looks like. Thanks...I have a half tank of gas...can I do with this amount of gas or should I run it down ?

 

Is there supposed to be a metal clamp on this grommet? I have metal clamps on the fuel filler neck...but not on this grommet...

 

No clamp. It's just a tight friction fit. Unless you're a magician, you will probably have to drain/drop the tank to replace it.
