Well, after I gave away my lawn equipment because the ethanol gas ate up the fuwl lines I learned how to replace the lines inside the gas tank. My son gave me his old weedeater and lawn mower to tinker
with. Now I can say "nothing to it".

I have two weed eaters that ethanol has ruined. I would like to repair them; how did you replace the fuel lines?? Thanks!
A tip a repairman gave me is if you have a fuel shutoff valve everytime you get done running it shut the valve off and let the engine run til it stops.

I bought a kit at Lowe's. Basically it is the fuel line with a filter attached to it. I pulled off the remains of the old lines. The gas tank has two small holes that the lines go into. I cut a piece of the new line and pushed it into the small hole for the return
side. It is fairly simple. The line that has the filter attached is more difficult. I cut the line about 4 inches long with the filter attached. Then I pushed the rest of the line into the small hole until I could grip it and pull it out the filler neck. I attached the long line to the 4" piece with the coupler that is included in the kit. Then I pulled it back out of the small hole until the fiter
was situated about right in the bottom of the tank. I measured and cut it and pushed it onto the Carburetor.

Thanks for the information, going to stop by Lowe's this week and get a couple of kits.
Thanks for the info. I checked you tube and there we a lot of how videos. Going to Lowes today and stock up!
I have used youtube videos to repair all sorts of **** around my house. Usually steers you correctly.
Just put u a little bit of sea foam in your mixed gas can. Shouldn't have ethanol problems anymore.
And pour out what's in the tank
