If you have a Craftsman 32cc Weedwacker and the fuel line from the tank element to the carb has fallen apart and the element filter is lose in the fuel tank - How do you go about fixing this?

Dump all of the fuel out of the tank. Then take a pair of long needle nose pliers and grab the end f the fuel line. Inspect it for swelling or complete disentegration. The ethanol added to gas that is now mandatory in many states is very tough on fuel line. You may have to replace the fuel line and put a new fuel filter on while you're at it. Patience is a virtue.
