There is no way to push the replacement fuel line through the small hole in the gas tank. The fuel line must be trimmed at an angle, and a 12 to 14 inch piece of small gauge wire (26 gauge will do) will be inserted perpendicularly through the line about an inch below the top of the tubing.

Insert enough of wire through the fuel line so the remaining wire can be bent and twisted above the top of the tubing. This will enable you to pull the wire, and the fuel line, up through the bottom, and out the top of the tank.

Fish the wire through the small hole in the bottom of the fuel tank and out the top of the tank. Continue pulling the wire and the fuel line should follow (a small amount of grease applied to the tubing will aid in feeding it through the tank bottom) . Grasp the fuel line and continue pulling until there is a little slack at the carburetor end, but just enough tubing to fit over the fuel intake nipple on the side of the carburetor.

Trim off excess tubing except for 2 inches above gas tank filler neck. Insert a small Phillips screwdriver (or some other tapered tool) into the end of the tubing and push it in about a half inch of so. This will stretch the fuel line tubing and make it easier to insert the fuel filter. A small bit of grease around the filter nipple will make it easier to fit it over the end of the tubing.

Finally, pull about an inch or so of tubing at the carburetor side of the tank far added slack, and push the filter / tubing combo slide back inside the gas tank. Shake the tank around a bit so the filter will settle at the bottom of the tank.

Reattach any removed parts back to the weedeater.

If you have a Craftsman 32cc Weedwacker and the fuel line from the tank element to the carb has fallen apart and the element filter is lose in the fuel tank - How do you go about fixing this?

Dump all of the fuel out of the tank. Then take a pair of long needle nose pliers and grab the end f the fuel line. Inspect it for swelling or complete disentegration. The ethanol added to gas that is now mandatory in many states is very tough on fuel line. You may have to replace the fuel line and put a new fuel filter on while you're at it. Patience is a virtue.

Can you give me schematics for Sears Craftsman 18' Chainsaw 358.350180 fuel line?

There are two lines inside the tank. The short line with no fuel filter on the end of it goes to the inlet, (suction) side of the primer bulb. The long line inside the tank, with the filter on the end goes directly to the fitting on the side of the carburetor. The line, inside the air box from the outlet side of the primer goes to the remaining fuel line fitting on the carburetor. http://store.chainsawr.com/

Cut a piece of fuel line long enough so the bottom end, with the fuel filter, rests on the bottom of the fuel tank. Run the fuel line, in the same location as the old one was and push the other end onto the barb fitting on the carburetor. http://store.chainsawr.com/
