    Fuel lines for Ryobi 280r Leaf Blower
    It seems that the inexpensive lines of power equipment decided long ago to use fuel lines that are guaranteed to become brittle within ten years. And it has happened again with my leaf blower. The only parts I can find are a primer bulb/fuel lines kit and main fuel line kit. I kind of hate to spend 25 bucks when I only need the lines. Can anyone tell me what ID those lines are? If I know that, I think I can just order some bulk line and not have to worry with the other stuff.

    You can buy bulk at most mower shops. Take in a scrap and show them what you need. Frequently I have seen that the two lines where not always identical.

    Thanks for the replies. I'll try bringing a sample in. And yes, one of the three appears to be a different size.

    Have a great Thanksgiving!
