I have a 8 year old Craftsman 4 cycle blower that has worked like a champ until the fuel line broke. I tried replacing the line itself without success so I order the fuel tank assembly. Took 15 minutes to take all apart and put back together. I do wish the original blower had better details so I could iD which intake was for the primer. I did guess right. Now I hope I can get several more years out of the blower.

Pretty Easy To Install
May 28, 2018|John M, Chicagoland
The fuel tank with pre-installed fuel lines is pretty easy to install. There are only two screws that hold the tank in place - one is easily accessible and the other is not at all accessible. As such, you have to remove 8 or 10 screws in order to remove two shroud pieces that then allows access to the second tank screw. So, it takes longer to remove and reinstall the two shroud pieces than it does to remove the old tank and install the new tank, but it's a compact design and not really a big deal. I did note that the pre-installed fuel lines were in a reverse configuration from my original tank assembly, which means you have to criss-cross the fuel feed and fuel return lines before attaching them to the carburetor. Again, not a big deal, but a little different from the original. Also, there were no installation instructions with the tank assembly, but replacement is pretty intuitive.
