Just a thought but it looks like your blower uses the same fuel tank as my ST145 trimmer. My tank had a crack and I replaced with a unit that included new lines and filter, for about $13.

This might be a dumb question but would a blower & a string trimmer both use the same length fuel lines i.e. is the tank mounted in the same location with respect to the carb?

I am not entirely sure since I've never had a blower, but multiple sites list that tank as the replacement. As I recall, it came with long houses that I trimmed down to fit

This sounds like what I should get since I remember it seeming like the fuel feeder hose with the filter/weight on the end seemed to me to be a little too short so that the thing would starve for fuel too soon when it didn't seem like it should be yet. I could make that one a little bit longer than the one in there now.
Also, maybe this tank/fuel lines/filter combo is even less expensive than buying just the 2 fuel lines & the filter separately?

If that fuel tank assembly fits your blower UT:08035-R  ( HB25150V )  SN:HZ2370771 ..for that price it's an option.,but
the fuel filter is 1.49 plus 14" of hose so..

Edit: just noticed the crankcase cover needs to be removed to replace the fuel tank !!

Thanks, you're right. I should just leave the tank alone. It's fine and I'm a cheapskate so I should just get the filter and some fuel line. I don't know what I was thinking.
If I go on Leon's site and can find what I need, I'll order it right away but I've got a few questions that I could sure use a little help with from one of you.

I JUST FOUND THE LINK FOR THE FILTER PART www.leonschainsawpartsandrepair.com/store/p6456/NOS_Homelite_180%2C_190%2C_192%2C_200%2C_240%2C_245%2C_330%2C_Little_Red%2C_Super_2%2C__XL%2C_XL-2_Chainsaw_Fuel_Filter_ZF-1.html

IT SAYS ON THAT PAGE "fits fuel hose of 1/8" ID" but I can't find that on the site. DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINK OR A PART# OR HOW DO I FIND IT? 
I found a complete new carb on the site for $7.99. Is it the right thing? Here's a link and a PIC:

I guess I still need to locate a carb rebuild kit if I'm going to rebuild my carb. Anyone have the Part# for that too?

I'll get right on it. Should I just tell him in a PM that I want parts for my Homelite HB25150V blower and give him those PNs and ask him if those are all what I should get?

[vankjeff]

I just sent this to Leon using the Contact link on his page at www.leonschainsawpartsandrepair.com/contact.html
Leon,
I need some parts so that I can try to fix my old Homelite handheld blower part # (S/N?) 08035R . I've been getting help on a question over in House Of Homelite site that's now 3 pages long at houseofhomelite.proboards.com/thread/8132/la-orange-county-help-blower and they told me to get them from you after I ask you to make sure these are the right ones. If you need any more specific info about my blower, please just email me.
I want a carb rebuild kit for the Walbro carb WT-20(?) which they said might be Repair kit: Walbro K20-WAT
5terrysupersaws told me this today:
Fuel hose kit:          A-09166    (1.99)
Fuel filter:               49422       (1.49)
Walbro WT carb kit: A-00286-B (6.99)

Have a look at this write up I just did on rebuilding my WT-220. Although not the same, yours is probably similar
