This Stiga Park 120 had a badly cracked / perished fuel hose and this video shows how I replaced it. I also changed the fuel filter at the same time. It was just the hose running between the back of the tank and the engine that was affected: the rest were fine.
I chose to remove the tank for this job. Strictly speaking this isn't necessary but I found it gave easier access to the hose clip on the fuel tap. Also, this Stiga had been somewhat neglected recently so I wanted to clean the tank and drain any debris.
If you've got one of these machines it would be well worth checking the state of your fuel hose - this one was quite bad.
I used 6 mm internal diameter reinforced fuel hose and a genuine GGP filter. The original fuel hose clips were fine to reuse.
This was a fairly straightforward repair and the Stiga feels a lot safer to use now I've dealt with the impending fuel leak!
