I have a 3-4 year old Husqvarna backpack blower and the grommet for the gas tank fuel lines can rotate. When I am putting on the backpack blower its gets shifted around at odd angles and some gas leaks out of the grommet I am pretty sure. When its on my back I think its fine unless I lean over. I am thinking the grommet rubber is dried unless that's the way it was made.

The ethanol in the fuel has ruined the rubber seal.
You can thank the powers that be.

Well the last run (yesterday) was 50:1 premix so pure gas. But it was the prior 25 tanks of gas that may have damaged the rubber.

I hope you get it fixed fast.
Walking around with something strapped to your back that leaks gasoline has "Darwin Award" written all over it.

Its an incentive to (as your Mother told you all along) "stand up straight".
