*Agree. *The trick to getting it through the hole 'easily' is to cut
the end at a narrow "v" about 3/8" or more. *Poke the end through the
hole as far as it will go, go in through the fuel cap hole with a pair
of forceps or long nose pliers, grasp the fuel line, and pull it
through as much as you need. *It pulls a lot easier than trying to
push it.


I cut the end in a LONG diagonal, maybe 2". *Real EZ to feed thru the
hole and pull, costs little.

Thank you all. Sounds like replacing using the right fuel line is the
way to go.

Thanks.
