How to insert fuel line in gas tank?
Instead of trying to force the issue, spray a small amount of lubricant onto the tube before insertion to aid in ease of entry. Cut the tip of the fuel line that fits into the tank on a diagonal angle. This allows the fuel to feed into the tub more easily and also helps with insertion.
Is it possible to avoid water in a fuel tank?
If the oil lines are taken off of the tank bottom it will not be possible to avoid water in the fuel without either having it all pumped out or by re-piping the oil lines off of the tank top (and keeping the oil line pick-up height inside the tank above the bottom and above any water.
Where does the fuel line go in a weed eater?
Pull out about 1″ of fuel line from the fuel cap opening and attach filter. Replace the line back into the tank just like that because you want the fuel filter/line to flop around inside the tank. Now that same line goes from the tank to the bottom connector on the carb.
How are fuel lines inserted in a chainsaw?
Both tubes flow from the fuel tank and connect to metal tubes that protrude from the carburetor. When it’s time to replace the chainsaw fuel lines, it’s important that you cut the new tubes to the proper length. Use needle-nose pliers to remove the tubes from the carburetor and pull them from the tank.
Can a fuel line be used on a gas tank?
Most fuel lines are only designed to handle fuel on the interior of the hose, which can be damaged if the exterior is exposed to fuel. Engineered for fully submersible use, these hoses are excellent for use on gas tank fuel pumps.
What do you need to know about routing fuel lines?
When routing lines within your airplane, make sure that they can move freely and are not bent in any odd fashion. After all, you need to make sure that fuel can move slightly from the tank to the carburetor, and also, from the vent line in the tank to the vent on the exterior of the model.
Where do fuel lines go in an airplane?
After all, you need to make sure that fuel can move slightly from the tank to the carburetor, and also, from the vent line in the tank to the vent on the exterior of the model. However, make sure that these lines do not come into contact with any hot item like the engine’s muffler. Rather, fasten a line if you think it may touch the muffler.

Are there gas tank fillers on both sides?
Both sides have their advantages and disadvantages, and we’re left, wandering, alone, confused. That’s not to say there hasn’t been occasional attempts to truly solve the problem. Jaguar, for example, pioneered the idea of the twin-filler fuel tank (actually, two separate tanks), with a fuel filler on each side.
What happens when you run a vent line on a fuel tank?
If you are running a vent line it is important that the line is ran higher than the highest point on the tank including the fuel filler neck. Also, the vent line cannot have a dip in it where fuel or condensation can get trapped in the line. If fuel becomes trapped in the line your tank will then build pressure or vacuum…
What causes gas to come out of a fuel tank?
Fuel Tank Venting. If fuel becomes trapped in the line your tank will then build pressure or vacuum until there is enough pressure to purge the vent which will cause gas and/or odor to come from the vent line. If enough pressure builds up damage could be caused to your tank.
Do you know which side of the gas tank is on?
All too often, people pull up to the pump and say “Which side is the gas tank on?” without realizing that they possessed the answer all along.
Where is the flap in the fuel filler hose?
It runs from the nozzle inlet over the frame rail and to the inlet pipe on the tank. The flap was not in the filler hose. Nor could I feel it as far as my finger could reach into the tank pipe. If the flap is in the truck, it is in the tank.
Can you put fuel into a gas tank?

Why does my fuel tank keep filling up?
There is a fill control valve in the top of the fuel tank that blocks the vapor venting when the tank is full, this causes fuel to be driven up the secondary tube, splash across the fill nozzle and shut off the pump. The fuel fill control valve may be stuck.
