Title says it all. I've bought two different plastic lines and one was too large and the other too small. It comes in two pieces and I don't know the stock numbers. Any help appreciated. Tom

I dont remember the size but I used Tygon brand fuel line last time I replaced one. Also did it on another also. Im sure you should be able to find bulk line that will work. Did you try a lawnmower shop.

Nope. Been to saw shops, auto parts stores, aquariums and hardware stores with no luck. I've done a google search for fuel line; but, I don't have a part number so I don't know what size to order. And one online store sold it in ten foot lengths. ha More than I need.

This is the stuff I use. Again I dont remember the size. I think the ID was same and OD was a little bit bigger but no ill effects installing. If the 10ft isnt too expensive Id buy it to have around for future projects. http://www.tygon.com/Data/Element/N..._line_edit.asp?ele_ch_id=L0000000000000001490 
POULAN Fuel Line
West Texas --
I just put a Fuel Line on my XXV. I work at a large LawnMower/Chainsaw dealership.
[if a saw shop does not have this fuel line, ain't much of a saw shop!]
It's next to the smallest size we use.
Go to the L/M dealers or STIHL dealers. They gotta have it.
TAKE YOUR OLD FUEL LINE with you!
When putting the covers of the saw back together, put the "connector" inbetween the case halves. Won't pinch...
Just run it smoothly thru the handle. Don't make it too long. We don't want it to possibly kink together. This can happen coming out of the handle into the engine case.
You'll probably want 12"-14" -- some extra to work with.
[this is the yellow/green fuel line]
Retail =$1.95 !
Let me know if you absolutely can't find it.
We have about 20ft. in stock.
Regards.
