Mend Craftsman 358.351160 Replace Gas Line

How do I replace the gas line?

How do I replace the fuel line on my Craftsman chainsaw model 358.351160? The fuel line has to slide into the little hole in the tank and then on to the carbarator. That's my only problem is getting the line into the hole.

Was there a fuel filter on the end of the fuel line in the tank? If there was a filter on the old fuel line, there should be a filter on the new fuel line. They run about two dollars.

You can cut the end of the fuel line at an angle so that you can get it started into the tank. That is, cut the tubing so that it is pointed on the end. You can place some silicone grease on the tubing next to the tank and below where your fingers will be when pushing the tubing into the tank. Twisting the tubing as you push it into the tank will make the job easier. Make sure you have the correct diameter tubing so that it will fit tight in the tank hole, but will still pass into the hole. The tubing runs about fifty cents per foot and can be purchased from a small engine repair shop or parts shop. Good luck.
