How Do I Install a Homelite Fuel Line?

Homelite makes a wide variety of two-cycle power lawn tools from chain saws and weed trimmers to leaf blowers. If the fuel line in your tool cracks or starts to leak, it requires immediate attention. Stop operation until the fuel line is properly fixed. Working with a fuel leak can cause a fire or bodily harm. You can install new fuel line at home.
