1/8 inch fuel line can be found at home depot for about$4. It comes with 1 ft of fuel hose and 1 ft of chainsaw oiler hose which is smaller.

if you cant find a small enough size tube, then get the smallest you can find. then if you are careful and have a drill you could drill the hole that is already there and widen it to make it fit
1. buy the tubing
2. take the filter out of the tank with long needle nose pliers or just pull the line all the way out and then shake it out in to your hand.
3. get a drill bit that is the same size as the tubing
4. carefully widen the hole with the drill (make sure not to drill at an angle because then you are going to have to fill it with some putty that can be used with gasoline, that wont dissolve).
5. then when you are putting the line that is supposed to have the filter on it, push it out of the top tank and put the filter on the. the filter on.
6. then push it back in to the tank.
7. on the out side of the tank try to put the lines on the stems by the primer button. if it is to big my cheap suggestion is to use zip ties (if they go on loose well i don't know because it worked for me, so i didn't need to do any thing else) it may be complicated but it worked for me. i hope this helps.

The hard part will be finding a gas line small enough.

The hose that broke lets any extra gas that goes to the carb return to the tank. When you pump the little plastic button before starting the weed eater, any extra fuel goes back into the tank via the line that broke.

Here we go:
1) Empty the gas tank
2) Reach into the gas tank with a pair of needle nose(long nose) pliers and pull out the little plastic nipple that's right next to the fuel line that goes to the filter (It'll be very short and may even look like it's coming out of the fuel tank housing). Keep this piece you'll use it with the new fuel line.
3) Pull the fuel line out from the gas tank by pulling on whatever is left of the original line. Don't pull it into the fuel tank, pull it from the top of the handle away from the tank.
4) Take this with you when you buy a foot of new line so you get the right size.
5) Poke it through the hole you pulled the old one from and push enough through so you can grab the end with the pliers and pull it out far enough to stick the plastic nipple back in.
6) Push the other end onto the metal nipple where the plastic push bulb is cutting it shorter as needed. (Since this hose only returns surplus fuel, all it needs to do is to end up in the tank) and you're done!
