skeeter Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Anyone know where to get a gas tank for the 86 stihl grass trimmer? The one thats on it is the original plastic tank and all the seams have opened up on it. I called a stihl authorised dealer and they want $30.oo just for a tank.

Roy Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Pay the darn $30 and be done with it. Then give Miss Kelly a hug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Let me check tomorrow I might have a used one in good shape, $39.95 less the OFC discount which would be $39.95. I'll get back to you tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattletrap2 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 $27.95 seems like a good deal to me. I mean the thing is a "one of a kind" item that is specific to that make and model. Supply and demand dictates that this would be a more expensive. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 tape the old one back together, seal up the edges with some gum, should hold most of the gas in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) Sorry, I thought I might have one from a scrapped trimmer but it won't fit yours. If you can wait a couple of days, I'll check with a local shop that I use to work for, they might have one. Probably $5.00 if he does.

I wouldn't give him a used one unless it was in really good condition. Occasionally we get trimmers and things where someone forgot to put oil in the gas. (or they've tuned it up themselves ) The motors aren't worth fixing and they don't want the unit back so we just use them for parts. Where is your shop, I'll drop by next time I'm in the area.

Lloyd, do you work at Gilmer's Home Hardware?? We've spent a lot of time there over the years picking up lumber, paint, stain, etc... over the years for our place in Osaca.
