Question:

where can i buy small diameter gas tubing?

me and my father were trying to fix a leaf blower(the cord you have to pull will come out but won't go in) and ran into a few problems. we had to pull the whole thing apart to get to it, and along with pulling everything off we had to take off the switches that handle choke and run, and the tubes connected to this device were corroded from gas left in the leaf blower. where can i buy this tubing, and some sealant for the tubes? i DO NOT want a website that i can order them from, i want an ACTUAL store in the Dallas fort worth area.

Answer:

i don't live in texas but try home depot or lowes they always have something good their
any ace hardware most hardware stores carry it
a place that repairs these or lawn eq. would probably have it. Thats were I've gotten similar parts
Any hardware store. Take a piece of the old with you and be sure to get the right size. Also make sure it is for fuel. They have other plastic tubing that is not for fuel. You shouldn't need a sealant if you get the right size tubing. If you have to run the tubing through the fuel tank as an example, cut the end of the tubing with a razor blade or sharp knife at an extreme angle to make a point at the end of the tube like you would sharpen a pencil. It will go through the hole easier and you can square it off later.
