Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when my fuel line needs replacing?
Look for visible cracks, splits, or hardening in the rubber. If the line feels stiff instead of flexible, or you notice fuel leaking at connections, it's time to replace it. Lines exposed to ethanol fuel typically last 5-10 years depending on use and storage conditions. Age-related deterioration appears as a tan or yellowish colour and brittleness even without visible cracks.
What size fuel line does my lawn mower need?
Most small engines use 1/4-inch inside diameter fuel line, whilst some larger engines require 5/16-inch. Measure your old line or check the manufacturer's specifications. The line must fit snugly over fittings without being too tight or loose. Using the wrong size causes leaks or poor connections that affect fuel flow and engine performance.
Are all fuel lines suitable for modern petrol with ethanol?
No, older rubber lines break down quickly when exposed to E10 fuel. Always purchase ethanol-resistant fuel line specifically rated for modern petrol blends. Quality lines made from materials like Tygon resist swelling, cracking, and softening caused by ethanol. Standard automotive rubber line isn't suitable for small engines as it degrades rapidly with ethanol exposure.
Can I repair a leaking fuel line or must I replace it?
Always replace leaking fuel lines completely rather than attempting repairs. Fuel leaks create serious fire hazards and indicate the rubber has deteriorated throughout, not just at the visible leak point. A full replacement with new clamps ensures safe, reliable operation. Match the length of your old line when cutting the replacement to prevent kinks or poor connections.
Why does my new fuel line feel so stiff to install?
Fresh fuel line is naturally firmer than aged, softened line. Warm the end with hot water or a hair dryer to make installation easier, or apply a small amount of washing-up liquid to help it slide onto fittings. Don't force it on cold as this can tear the line. Once installed and exposed to fuel, the line will soften slightly for a secure seal.
