Molded fuel line fixes

Show us your ways to get around having to buy the oem molded
fuel lines or fuel lines you cant find anymore.
Here is one I use for the echo 452 today using a idea from the
racing days ;) (except it was the other way around) ;). 2
different size fuel lines used and have never had a problem
doing it like this.

My fix for the stihl lines so I never have to buy a stihl molded
line or fuel filter again. Unless customer wants oem.

On the stihl one do you just cut the hose ends off the grommet
and insert your tygon or do you have to enlarge your hole threw
the grommet.

I have used the same trick on the Stihl saws, and in my
experience you do not have to open up the grommet once you cut
the hose off it. You do however need a little 100% pure silicone
spray to get the grommet to slide easily on the tygon.

I just pull the old stihl line. Cut both ends, reuse grommet to
tank and put my tygon line through.

I don't consider that particular chainsaw to be the easiest saw
in the world to work on.
