    Question Whats that little plastic thing..................

    Whats that little clear kinda plastic thing on a trimmer thats attached to the end of a fuel line runs from the tank.

    Hard to explain!!

    It's attached to the end of a fuel line that comes from the fuel tank. Kinda clear plastic little thing. Lol

    Know the thing I'm talkin bout??

    Is it a breather?

    Alex, If its out side its probably the breather. I had a Shin trimmer and had to replace one cos it clogged up or something. Shin fuel caps dont have the beathers on them so they use that method. Very expensive from the shop too, $18 from memory but that was a long while ago!

    G'day Mick.


    Yeh its on the outside of a T260.

    A little round plastic thing. I thought it was the breather but it just looked a little over complicated for a breather.


    I get fuel intermitantly pi$$ing out all over the shop from it and it's a worry when the trimmer is hot let alone leaving dead spots in lawns.

    Thanks mate.

    haaa Good one Tony!

    Alex, If its letting fuel out it must be faulty. Put a new one on and see how it goes.
