Hurricane fuel line replacement

(1/1)

Rick Daniels:
I have discovered a small leak in the hurricane fuel line. Before I try to replace it I would like to know where the fuel line attaches to the fuel tank. Can it be replaced without lowering the fuel tank?

Carl Boger:
If yours is like mine the line goes into the top of the tank.  I was able to loosen the tank and then tilt it down in the front enough to get to the fittings.  A motorcycle jack worked well for this.  Only had to drop/tilt the tank about 4 or 5 inches to access everything.  Hoes this helps some.

Richard Good:
I had the same issue with mine several years ago. I cut the line back several feet, used a brass connector and installed a new fuel line. I suspect the tubing they used is not UV protected and it was the section which got most light exposure was rotted.
