Hi. *I hope this is the right group to post this question. *I have a

thick and filled the hole pretty well. *I had a replace the fuel line
and while the new line appeared to be the same outer diameter of the

hole through which the fuel line enters. *I guess I could try to find
thicker fuel line; but the stuff I just installed was difficult enough

silicone; but that does not appear to be fuel/oil-resistant (trimmer
is 2-cycle).

Thanks.

A good mower shop should have the correct fuel line, I have to go to
the next town south for mine,
but none of the big box store stuff works. I've tried just about
everything to seal the leak from a too small hose, and haven't yet
found anything that works..
