This is an authentic OEM replacement fuel pipe. It is specially made for use with gas trimmers/cutters. The purpose of a fuel line is to deliver the fuel from the tank to the carburetor. Over time rubber material will become brittle and may crack allowing for leaks. At this point the line/pipe should be replaced.

Hi Sandra,
Thank you for your question. Here is a link to one of our YouTube videos that you may reference on how to install a carburetor on a trimmer, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPbEHC-j6uw. The trimmer in the video may appear different from yours, but it will give you a general idea on how to install the carburetor and the fuel lines. If you have any questions, please let us know. We are open 7 days a week. We look forward to hearing from you!

Gas priming bulb was leaking and decided to change all gas lines

30-60 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers
Removed air filter housing to get to housing/carburetor attached fuel lines. The fuel priming bulb just snaps in place. The pink line attaches to the housing and proceeds through a grommet in the gas tank. The shorter black line goes from the housing to the carburetor. You will need to remove the other rubber grommet that seals the longer black fuel line going into the gas tank to feed the new line through it. You will also have to reach into fuel tank with a wire hook to retrieve the filter attached to the black line to remove it and attach new line since the grommet opening is not large enough to pull the filter through. The filter housing/carburetor screws are then put back in place and re-tightened.

Removed the old parts by pulling them off with needle nose pliers. Worked the new parts into place, more easily than expected.
Just keep track of what goes where, and it's pretty easy. Should be good to go for awhile until the gas eats the rubber again.

Took the outside cover off the air filter assembly and removed air filter. Then used small regular screwdriver to depress clips holding priming bulb to bracket. Pulled bulb out of housing slightly and removed old fuel pipe. Used screwdriver to pry old grommet up from fuel tank and needle nose pliers to remove it. Got new grommet and fuel pipe out and used dishwashing detergent to lubricate fuel pipe going into grommet on outside. Threaded fuel pipe into grommet and then fed pipe and grommet through priming bulb housing and plugged into priming bulb. Then pressed grommet with fuel pipe into place and snapped priming bulb into place. Installed air filter and snapped outside of air filter housing back into place and closed it up and locked it in place.

I removed the fuel tank, and the remnants of the old fuel line and fuel pipe. Then I used a pair of long needle-nosed pliers to reach into the fuel tank and removed the fuel line with filter attached. I then routed the new fuel line from the carb through the grommet into the tank, once again reaching in with the pliers to pull the end of the fuel like from the tank. I installed the fuel filter on the new line and secured with the spring clamp, then reinserted it into the fuel tank. Afterward, I routed the new fuel pipe into its respective grommet in the fuel tank and attached the other end to the primer body. I reattached the fuel tank to the trimmer, then primed and started the string trimmer. After adjusting the idle, the trimmer performed flawlessly.
