Just put new lines on an old (1985) Lawn Boy string trimmer. I bought "Tygon" fuel line and fed it up through the tank, reattached the filter and pulled it back through. Perfect.

I need to replace fuel lines on a Weed Eater XT85T gas trimmer. I have the carburetor off and fuel lines disconnected from it.
How do you disconnect the fuel lines from the gas tank? The gas tank is still in the housing. I can't figure out how to get the gas tank out or how to get the fuel lines disconnected from the gas tank.
Could someone please give me some help? THANKS !
I need to replace the fuel line (the orange colored one). It has become very brittle and every time we try to push it back on, it splits and keep breaking off. Can you please tell me which part # I would need to order for the WeedEater Model # XT85 18" cutting path? Should I replace both fuel lines? Also what part # would the carburetor kit be for this model? Thanking you kindly.
The fuel line for your trimmer is sold as a small coil that you cut to length. It is part #530069247. Replace all of the lines on the trimmer, if one has gone bad the others won't be far behind. The carb kit is part #530069623. Both of these parts are available from ereplacementparts.com.
