Great Video; I found after a bit of struggling that it was far easier to insert the grommet into the tank if I first removed one or two of the lines from it first. Then; after the grommet is inserted the lines can be re-inserted.

Todd Wittman Thanks

Sometimes in the middle of the night, my weed whacker starts up on its own if I forget to remove the spark plug wire.

Thanks I thought it was just me

[@PlumbDrumb]

Thanks a bunch. I needed this fuel line for my Mantis Tiller (2 cycle), and Mantis doesn't even sell parts on their website!
So, I did a web search and your site popped up, with all those pretty parts!
I suppose these things are pretty standard, but I tend to stay away from 2 cycle engines so I wouldn't know :D

[@repairclinic]

Thanks for the comment!

[@Soroushtx]

thank you for your great videos

[@Soroushtx]

thank you fro ur great videos

[@BE2001]

Thanks for the great video. I have a repair kit that has all 3 lines extend down into the fuel tank several inches. Should I cut the other two off at the grommet?

[@michaelmarshall894]

Adding to the comments about reconnecting the fuel lines correctly, you connect the fuel supply line to the outside nipple the after blocking the view when connecting the clear line it is connected to the outside or left nipple you connected the supply line to, so which way is it?

[@joshlaningham1572]

Great video

[@Moondoggy1941]

How do you know if you have put the fuel lines in correctly?

[@steelworxcuracao9482]

I need help.
I have a echo srm 225.
The primer bulb only works if the return line is literally submerged in the fuel. Should it be like that?
Cause if im not mistaken the return line comes originally as a short line.

[@thebinaryboy]

Does anyone know the inside and outside diameter of the Echo fuel lines?

[@MAGnetICus_Attractus]

What is the third line for?

[@stoptellingmewhattowrite]

Supply, return, and vent.

[@marcosquiroz7459]

Where can i order a gromit for my echo weeder?

Marcos Quiroz ....they can be found at your local home depot. Kit is about 20 out the door

[@kennycochran9263]

Under $10 on internet

[@scottmitchell3323]

I like how you skip why one line is clear and one is black

[@thewizard7099]

Yellow goes to primer bulb, black goes to carb. He did say make note of which lines go where

[@davidedmonds2764]

If you are going to do a video, how about not blocking everything with hands and specifics about which hoses go to which port instead of just saying put them back on correctly 🙄

[@gamanshoo]

👏 useless company video…it’s virtually impossible to get the grommet in the fuel tank…given the design/positioning

[@gamanshoo]

This design is horrendous. It is virtually impossible to fit the rubber grommet in the fuel tank. Sorry
