Broken fuel pipe - Ryobi Cultivator

you need to ensure the connection between tank and pump is absolutely clear of air and tank bottom debris. (I am guessing the vehicle is diesel?
Ensure there is plenty of fuel in the tank to circumvent the introduction of more air.
Check that the pump is actually pumping fuel and had not broken
If it is connect the fuel pipe but disconnect from the engine end.
Crank engine until fuel arrives then stop cranking and connect pipe ensuring some fuel is left in the pipe. Connect it securely to prevent air ingress.

Get another vehicle with jumper leads to give you a boost. Connect up the cables with both engines stoppd, (yesm I know,) otherwise the vehicle can suffer alternator rectifier damage.
The second vehicle should then start and the engine revs held at a fast idle while the broke vehicle cranks over.

You should do this even if the broken vehicle has a good battery.
As the fuel is pumped through the air should be bled... ensure that no air is introduced at the rail/injectors.
It should, eventually , work. The fuel will absorb some air but if there is lots of it in the system the vehicle just will not start.

Making sure the fuel is clear of air upto the injector rail may help you to get it started.
GOOD LUCK (I hope it is a diesel!!!)

Fuel lines are a push/pull fit, the fuel line has 2 flanges, one should sit either side of the fuel tank. I will send you a link to the parts manual.

Condensation on exhaust pipe is normal.
Gas cap light:..This may be caused by loose or leaking hoses, loose or broken fuel cap, a leak at the top of the fuel filler pipe neck, ect......

The fuel hose is all one piece from the tank up to the carb, it is just an interference fit in the tank, you will need to replace the complete pipe, the best way to do this is to **** the new pipe up the middle, about 30/40mm, take away one side of the pipe, it will now fit through the hole in the tank from the top, use a pair of long nose pliers through the fuel filler hole to grab the pipe and pull it on in, trim the end and re fit the fuel filter.

it has been a while since i worked on one of those, but if i remember correctly there is a metal fuel pipe underneath the car that changes to a rubber pipe in that area. it can be checked quite easily from underneath the car. if you can raise the car SAFELY or get under it in a pit, you should be able to see where the fuel is coming from. the chances are it is a broken pipe or loose connection rather than a component failure

My Sovereign SHT 26 hedge trimmer has a damaged fuel pipe which needs replacing; please advise

One of the retainer clips is probably broken and letting the line vibrate. Install new retainer clips and that should stop the snapping. This also happens a lot on Mercedes Benz diesels too.

Go to the dealers and see if you can buy just the pipe.But im sure you have to replace the lot sorry.
