In this how-to repair video, I'll replace the fuel return line on my Craftsman weed trimmer using a $3 kit I bought at the hardware store.

Thank you so much, it looks like you just saved me $200.
Glad I was able to help, thanks for watching! 🛠️
This video was a big help! Thank you! Here's how I replaced the 3/16" line from tank to carb.... If your fuel line kit doesn't come with the wire tool, just push about 1/2 to 2/3 of the new fuel line into the 3/16" opening on the top of the tank. Then insert a tool or hook into the large (normal) tank opening, grab the new line, and pull it out the large opening. Take the fuel filter and push it onto the new line. Now push the new hose with filter back into the tank. Pull any excess new line out from the top of the tank so the filter sits on the bottom. Finally, connect the new line to the carb. Hope this helps :)
Excellent break down of the procedure and thanks for watching! 🛠️
thanks for the walk through. my question was about the return line and how long. now i know! good old youtube
Glad it helped, thanks for watching! 🛠️
This is easier if you remove the fuel tank and apply the lines then run them to the carburetor and reattach the fuel tank .
Super helpful video! Addressed issues I was having with the fuel lines and made it easy to follow what to do if things went wrong. Thank you!
Glad it helped, thanks for watching! 🛠️
It helps to cut the fuel line on the top at an angle. Then it helps to put a little grease or Petroleum jelly on the ends.
just what I needed thanx
Glad it helped thanks for watching! 🛠️
omg i love your video! this is why i love youtube, great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you I'm glad it helped, thanks for watching! 🛠️
Putting the return tube in was almost like trying to put a square peg into a round hole lol
Yes it was like pushing on a piece of thread and it was the most difficult part.
Thank you so much ! Great video. Just ran into this problem.. Never fails..
Best mechanic it hurts watching this. Least we know the return line and the fuel line
Exacty what I needed to know. How far in the return gas line goes into the tank. About an inch. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing!
After you cut the angle on the return line, dip it inside oil…makes it A WHOLE LOT EASIER feeding it through that hole.
Great suggestion for next time thanks!
What about that black part you pulled out how do u install that
Nice nail
I replaced my line as well with that same kit but it leaks fuel on the tank side where the line goes in. Also a Craftsman trimmer.
well done
Need the fuel line diagram for Troy built leaf blower
Try searching your specific model online for the part diagrams. RepairClinic has many online I've used in the past as well.

Geez I wish I had different color fuel lines. Just replaced complete with bulb on a blower, gonna have to label what to what
There is a wire tool specifically designed to do this job easier and quicker than this.
$3!? Now is $10 at home depot!
So I have the link in the description of this video for the exact kit from Home Depot I used and it's showing $4.38, but out of stock. This is pretty standard issue small engine fuel line which you could probably also get off of Amazon really cheap.
👍
You didn't put the little black piece on the end inside the tank.
Yeah I address that at the 3:26 mark here: czcams.com/video/vTnyzz37sNk/video.htmlsi=lq_uAlXezX9REX0A&t=206 The line I was replacing was just a return line so it was not required to replace in my application. This repair has been working now for 4 years (still using that same weed trimmer) so getting the return line inserted enough worked well for my trimmer.
I went o my tractor supply today and got the fuel return line but one size 1/8 and it’s thick it’s no way getting it in the small hole I think I need the 3/16 smaller one so tomorrow I’ll try harbor fright and get the 3/16 one size down and Mandy could finally trim around my palm trees
Not sure it will be the correct size, but the universal kit I used was this one: amzn.to/498TLB0 Thanks for watching! 🛠️
you can tell me you didn't stop by the nail shop before you made this video 😂😂😂 nicenails
I didn’t know it was possible to make an even more boring fuel line😊 replacement video but it is
