Ryobi Trimmer Model 725r

The fuel assembly kit is essentially a plastic post and round filter that sits in the bottom of the gas tank. The post attaches to a fuel line.

How do you get the plastic post "seated" into the hole in the bottom of the fuel tank. It is impossible to reach it and apply any downward pressure. If you try to pull on the fuel line (from outside the bottom of the tank), you just pull the tubing off the plastic post.

Is there some tool for this?

Thanks.

trim the old tubing off as close as you can to the tank. There will be enough nipple contact to connect the new line. Just make sure the line is the correct size or it wont grip it. As a trick, to make sure a line will stay, is to buy a smaller diameter line, cut an angle on it, spray it with carb cleaner (softens it) then press it on. When the cleaner evaporates, it will not come off unless cut off. Hope this helps!
