Fuel line replacement help!

Oh, I see.

I thought you meant you had a sort of special, purpose built,service tool. I wondered why I had never seen one:biggrin:

 

Never seen that wire trick before, might give it a try.

 

One trick I use is to cut the hose at an angle like you have said, then feed a bit of appropriate size strimmer cord down through. You can then get a good grip on the hose with pliers to push it through the hole without collapsing or doubling over. A bit of vaseline helps ease the way too!

 

I'll go to the foot of our stairs:laugh1:

here is a quick video of the tool in use as you can see it can be difficult to use hemostats because of the position of the fuel lines and the shape of the tank being a u shape

No, I saw it.

I bought a 12.5kg tub of Vaseline around 20 years ago, still got loads left.

It eases entry into tight spaces,

It holds gaskets and o rings in place to aid assembly,

And it sticks nuts into sockets to get them to confined spaces.

It sticks screws to screwdrivers.

Its marvellous stuff and every workshop should have some.

"It eases entry into tight spaces" Barrie - you crack me up:lol::lol:

 

I do know what you mean and just use an LM grease myself......for the workshop ONLY before anyone else gets in!!!!!!

I like it too Bill, I will certainly be giving that a try. Top video, short and concise.

With a bit of slippery stuff of course!

the more slippery the better just don't get it where the wire attaches the fuel line will slip 0ff:thumbdown:
