This is a genuine OEM sourced replacement part designed for use with Echo power equipment. The purpose of a vent pipe is to allow air in the fuel tank. It is made out of plastic material and it is sold individually. Over time plastic lines will deteriorate and become brittle so they would need to be replaced.

Echo fuel system parts
Echo edger fuel system parts arrived as promised and fit perfectly. Fast repair. Edger runs great now...no leaks. (Knock-off Chinese parts installed previously didn’t seal fuel tank properly.)

Removed the cover over the gas tank.
Disconnected the fuel lines from the carburetor.
Removed the gas tank from the edger and was able to see the gas tank was OK.
My problem was the fuel return tube. The tube is vinyl and was loose in the grommet.
The new grommet has metal sleeves that the old grommet doesn\'t. Bec
... Read moreause of the metal sleeves, the hoses were hard to install. Finally on the last hose, I put some light grease on it and the last hose went in a whole lot easier. I wish I had thought of that sooner. Actually, I should have used some of the oil you mix with the gas. I\'m not a full time mechanic.
I installed the grommet in the new tank (might as well use the new tank) and reinstalled the tank.
I reconnected the fuel lines to the carburetor.
I reinstalled the cover.
I filled the tank with gas and the edger started right up and I no longer have a gas leak.
If you experience a gas leak, try sliding all 3 hoses up and down. They shouldn\'t move. If they do, you might have an old grommet like I did without the metal sleeves. My vinyl fuel return hose was also deformed were it went thru the grommet causing my gas leak and the edger harder to start.
I hope some of this is helpful to somebody else. I\'m not an author either.

8. Runs excellent, like new, with no more fuel leaks!! Ready to take my Echo SRM-230, and trim up some weeds!! It\'s been about 5 years or more, and I couldn\'t be anymore pleased to see it running like new.

1. Pour remaining premixed fuel out of fuel tank back into a fuel can
2. Remove cover over fuel tank using allen wrench.
3. Removed fuel tank. While this wasn\'t absolutely necessary it made things easier and allowed all of the oil and dirt to be cleaned from the area.

5. Remove a tube to be replaced from the old grommet and install a new one. They\'re a tight fit so lubricating the tube with a bit of oil or dishwashing detergent makes it easier to slide through the grommet. There was a small wire band over the tubing at the fuel filter. Slide it up the old tube using needle nose pliers to remove the filter then install the wire band onto the new tube. Do the reverse when installing the filter onto new tube.
6. Make certain that enough tubing extends into the tank to allow the filter / clunk to reach all areas of the tank as the unit is rotated into different positions. This ensures that all of the fuel will be emptied during operation.
7. Install the grommet with new tubing into the tank and reassemble all parts in reverse order to complete the repair.
