Okay everyone, here is a stumper for you:
I have a Weedeater GTI 17LE weed trimmer that I can't stop the fuel leak on. Before you all start on me, I know that this is a cheapie unit (yes I got it for $60 about 10 years ago) but it has really served me well until last year. It all started with the engine not wanting to run. I figured that a carburator kit was in order, so I pulled it and put the kit in. What I found to be the biggest culprit in non-operation was that the plastic fuel line in the tank had fallen apart. So, easy fix right? Replace the line, NOT. The first line I put on was the wrong outside diameter and leaked right away. So on to line number 2. This line appears to be the correct replacement, but yet I still get slight fuel seapage between the line and the hole in the tank. I went to several part sites and find that the factory line #530069247 is replaced with Stens ST-120-870. Unfortunately, to order it on line ends up being about $14 buck for 50 cents worth of line.
Any tricks for this? 
I just hate the idea of tossing this operational unit away just because I can't get a small fuel line to work. The engine with the new kit really runs great. Of course, I already have my eye on a Stihl trimmer if I just can't get this to work
