The fuel line is broken, and I need to replace it

[Joe]

Not sure how it happened. Haven't used the trimmer in a while. I prepared the gas mixture and was pouring it in when I noticed the gas tank was leaking. Looking further, I saw that one of the fuel lines is torn. I found the other piece of it inside the gas tank. I have no clue what could have done this. I don't see a fuel line in any of the diagrams.

Both fuel lines broke right at the gas tank. Can I buy just the fuel lines?

The fuel lines are poor quality, and deteriorate over time. I found replacement fuel line at the local auto parts store. Empty the gas tank, cut the fuel line off flush with the tank, then use a small punch to push the remaining fuel line into the tank. Dump the old fuel line out the filler neck. Thread the new fuel line through the holes in the plastic tank. The feed line to the carb will require that you reinstall the filter/ weight on the end, and it needs to be long enough to reach to the bottom of the gas tank. Push a lot of fuel line through, then fish it out of the filler neck to install the filter, and pull back through til the length is correct.
