Stihl 009L Fuel Line

[garciaj]

In the process of replacing the cracked fuel line on this saw. Purchased new fuel line, but cannot get it start through the hole in the gas tank. I know this is a tight fit, but is there a trick to get it started into the tank? The new fuel line is OEM.:msp_confused:

Use a pair of scissors and trim 0ff one side to make a point on the end of the line. That will get it started. Then use a pair of needle nose pliers to pull it through. Tom
