The Poulan 3800 chainsaw has two fuel lines, one of which is connected to a fuel filter inside the fuel tank, while the other is used to vent the gas tank so that the fuel will flow. It is important to buy a long enough piece of fuel line and to get the right size of the line when replacing the fuel lines. Fuel line kits for Poulan chainsaws are available from online retailers such as Amazon and Walmart.

Poulan Chainsaw Fuel Line Kits
The fuel line is an essential component of a chainsaw, connecting the fuel tank to the carburetor and supplying fuel to the engine. Over time, fuel lines can become damaged, cracked, or clogged, requiring replacement to ensure the proper functioning of the chainsaw.
Poulan offers a range of fuel line kits compatible with different models of Poulan chainsaws. For example, the DOP530069247PO Poulan Kit, Fuel Line Carb/Purge, is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part used on numerous Poulan/Poulan Pro chainsaws. It replaces Poulan Part #530069247 and includes a 3/16" OD by 3/32" ID 2-foot-long fuel line and a fuel line fitting connector.
Another option is the DOP530069599 Poulan Pro Fuel Line Kit, which includes part numbers 530069598 and 530069599. This kit comes with two fuel lines: a large one measuring 3/16" OD by 3/32" ID and 2 feet long, and a small one measuring 9/64" OD by 5/64" ID and 2 feet long. The kit also includes the fuel line fitting connector.
In addition to these kits, Poulan also offers individual fuel lines and connectors, such as the DOP530023877 Poulan/Poulan Pro 1800, 1900 Fuel Line Connector. This barbed fitting is used to connect the fuel lines between the carburetor and fuel tank on various Poulan-manufactured string trimmers, blowers, and chainsaws.
When purchasing a Poulan Chainsaw Fuel Line Kit, it is important to ensure compatibility with your specific chainsaw model. Refer to the owner's manual or consult a Poulan authorized service dealer to identify the correct part number and ensure a proper fit.

Fuel line length and size
The fuel line length and size for a Poulan chainsaw vary depending on the model and type of chainsaw. The standard length of a Poulan chainsaw fuel line is around 6-8 inches from the carburetor to the fuel tank, but it may differ based on the model. The fuel line diameter is typically 3/32-inch or 1/8-inch.
Poulan chainsaws are available in various models with different engine displacements, bar lengths, and oil tank capacities. The engine displacement ranges from 33cc to 62cc, determining the power and cutting capacity of the chainsaw. The bar length, which influences the size of logs that can be cut, ranges from 14 to 20 inches. The oil tank capacity, which lubricates the chain, falls between 6.8 and 12 ounces.
When selecting a fuel line, it is important to consider the material. Fuel lines are commonly made of rubber, neoprene, or Tygon. Rubber fuel lines are affordable but tend to degrade, crack, and leak over time. Neoprene fuel lines offer improved durability and resistance to fuel degradation but are more expensive and less flexible. Tygon fuel lines are highly resistant to fuel, oil, and chemicals, making them a popular choice despite their higher cost.
It is crucial to consult the owner's manual or the manufacturer's instructions to determine the specific fuel line size and type recommended for your Poulan chainsaw model. Additionally, when replacing a damaged or leaking fuel line, follow the proper installation steps to ensure the chainsaw's smooth and safe operation.

Fuel line replacement
Most small engines, including Poulan chainsaws, have multiple fuel lines. At a minimum, there will be a line carrying fuel from the tank to the carburetor, and a second line returning excess fuel from the carburetor to the fuel tank. Many models also have a remote purge bulb, which adds a third line between the bulb and the carburetor. Some models will have a remote fuel tank vent (and another piece of fuel line connecting it to the tank).
Fuel lines are in constant contact with gasoline. Over time, the gas will cause the fuel lines to harden and deteriorate. Once hardened, the fuel lines are easily cracked or broken. You can replace the fuel line yourself, ordering the part from websites such as Amazon, Walmart, and eReplacementParts.com.
- Disconnect the fuel return line from the primer bulb.
- The fuel return line is secured inside the fuel tank by a plastic compression fitting (which prevents the line from being accidentally pulled from the fuel tank). Removing the fitting (and the return fuel line) requires a bit of patience and a good pair of hemostats.
- Use snippers or scissors to cut the return fuel line as close to the fuel tank as possible.
- Remove the fuel cap. Using hemostats, remove the compression fitting (and the remainder of the return fuel line) from the inside of the fuel tank.
- Use a utility knife to cut the old fuel line away from the plastic fitting (the fitting will be re-used).
- Align the ends of the old fuel line and the new fuel line. Add the length of the piece of fuel line that was cut from the plastic fitting. Cut the new fuel line to the length of the original fuel line.
- Install the fuel return line. Thread the angled end of the new fuel return line through the mounting hole on the fuel tank.
- Using hemostats, pull the new fuel line (from the inside of the fuel tank) through the mouth of the fuel tank (be careful not to pull the line completely out of the mounting hole); pull the line just far enough to install the plastic compression fitting.
- Use snippers or scissors to square the end of the fuel line (removing the angle that was cut earlier).
- Install the plastic fitting onto the end of the new fuel line. Install the plastic fitting (and fuel line) back into the fuel tank. From the outside of the fuel tank (where the fuel line enters the fuel tank), use hemostats to pull the fuel return line until the plastic fitting engages the inside of the fuel tank (and secures the new fuel line to the tank).

Fuel line routing
The fuel line routing for a Poulan Chainsaw depends on the model. For example, the Poulan 2150 and Poulan 3800 have different fuel line setups.
The Poulan 2150 has two fuel lines. The smaller of the two is where the fuel filter is mounted and it runs through a hole on the left, then over to the right side of the carburetor and into the fuel inlet nipple. The carburetor may have one or two brass fuel nipples, so it is important to check this before installing.
The Poulan 3800 has two fuel lines that need to be replaced. One is connected to a fuel filter inside the fuel tank, and the other is a vent.
When replacing the fuel lines, it is important to buy a long enough piece of fuel line and to get the right size.
For the Poulan 2400 Woodmaster, the carburetor has two inlets. One is a small copper straight line that comes from the carburetor side of the bulb, and the other is an elbow line that goes directly into the tank. The fuel nipple on the carburetor that is closest to the top is where the small fuel line with the fuel filter should go.
To feed the fuel line through the fuel cap hole, you can use a taper to get it through the hole in the top. Then, grab the fuel line with needle-nose pliers and pull it through.

Fuel line hose tubes
For Poulan chainsaws, there are a variety of fuel line hose tubes available on the market, which are designed to fit specific models. For example, the HIPA 4-feet-long fuel line hose tube is a popular choice for Poulan chainsaws, and it comes in a 4-piece set. This fuel line is also compatible with Craftsman chainsaw string trimmers and blowers. Similarly, the FANJIE 3-meter/10-feet gas petrol fuel line is designed for Stihl and Poulan chainsaws, ensuring a proper fit for specific models.
Walmart offers a range of fuel line hose tubes for Poulan chainsaws, including the Shinycome 6-meter/20-foot plastic fuel line, which is compatible with the Poulan Craftsman Weedeater and the Poulan Pro PR4218 18-inch 42cc 2-cycle gas chainsaw. Amazon also provides Poulan chainsaw fuel line kits, which include the necessary components for a complete fuel line replacement, such as the fuel line hose tube, fuel filter, and other relevant parts.
It is important to note that fuel line hose tubes are not a one-size-fits-all solution, and it is crucial to ensure compatibility with your specific chainsaw model. These fuel lines are designed to withstand the demands of outdoor power equipment and facilitate the efficient flow of fuel, ensuring optimal performance and longevity for your chainsaw.
