how to replace fuel line on weed eater trimmer?

Weed Eater GT15-1 trimmer....trying to replace fuel line...having trouble inserting line into the bottom of fuel tank...position is bad and no room for any tools to insert fuel line...is there a trick to this? engine side has a nipple but tank just has the hole....and you want it to be a good fit to prevent fuel leaks, but you want to get the line in GLee

This has worked for me. It can be a bit tricky. Good luck!
1.Get you a pair of needle nose pliers, clothes hanger and petroleum jelly.
2. Run hanger through the fuel line hole out through the fuel tank fill cap.
3. Slide fuel line over hanger.
4.Take pliers and bend a small hook on hanger.
5. The hook will catch the end of the line.
6. Put some petroleum jelly on the end of fuel line
7. Slowly pull the hanger with fuel line installed through the hole.
