Fuel Line

Does this line seal into the hole in the gas tank?
mine leaks and not sure what seals it with the tank

Hi RonnieJ,

The line does seal against the tank. The line's OD is slightly larger than the hole in the tank. The line forms its own seal to the tank. The old line has probably become hard and brittle with age. This will cause the line to no longer seal and the tank to leak.

I hope this helps,

Hello Ronnie,
I agree with Mark. However, sometimes it can be a real pain to rethread the new lines. I have seen something else done in this regard that has worked for those who dont have the tools or know how. J-B Qwik, sold at most stores will provide a secure bond around the aperature of the tank entry point, pending the rest of the lines are not cracking too. While I dont recommend this myself, it has worked for others. Be careful!
