If snug fits in this case and you have enough line - snip half inch

In that case the OP can cut the line and snug 'er up.

That's a short term fix that can serve as a temporary workaround, but
none I have have extra length so that the shorter one won't reach to
bottom of tank. That, of course, is only a minor inconvenience as
compared to not being able to keep the saw running at all...

The best answer then is a new fuel line . Given fuel cost I don't want
that line popping off
