Gas line broke gas tank. Apparently line just split
Using needle nose pliers slip the split line off the connection and pull out of the gas tank. If there is a filter on the end you need to extract through the gas cap opening. Purchase another gas line either in a repair kit or individual line and cut to fit. If the filter is bad, use a new kit. Insert through the gas cap opening and pull up through the supply line opening. Be sure the connection is clean then slip the new line onto the clean connection.
SOURCE: Fuel line to carb. split. tried to remove it.
You can replace the fuel line yourself, or you can take it to a repair center. Should not cost too much, probably in the $20 range. Or, you can purchase new fuel line (make sure to take the old line with you to get the correct size) and, with a lot of patience, replace it yourself. You will need to drain the gas out and get the filter out and either replace or re-use. You probably have 2 lines coming from the carb, be careful to keep them identified and not hook up the lines wrong. You will probably need to purchase about 2 feet of line, cuz you are going to probably have to re-try getting it in place and will have a bit of waste. With patience and thought, you can do it!
