Easton Mass. not enough time in NB Canada
I have a crack in the fuel tank on my Stihl FS 81 trimmer.;sick
What's the going price for one?
How about a part # ?
It looks easy enough to replace.
Thanks
Sean
 
eBay might be a good spot to look - just did a quick check for your trimmer tank - a couple available, but not exact model - might be compatible - will have to check. Can the crack be fixed? Perhaps J B Weld? Would save time and money. Cheers!

If you decide to repair, I have stopped leaks on many fuel tanks with a product called "SealAll".
It is a little pricey but works very good when applied right.
I always clean tank THOROUGHLY with Lacquer Thinner and then rough up the surface and clean and dry again.
I always seal from the inside, if possible, but outside may work.
 
I patched a crack in my Shihl trimmer with JB weld, seems to be holding so far. As above poster said, clean and rough surface well.
 
Is this it?

Went to Cleaves and ordered a new tank $26
I suppose it looks like that but will be able to see it better when I take it off tomorrow.
$26 doesn't seem so bad.
I'll let you know how I make out.
 
$24.92 new tank. Same Tank . Good to go!
I't nice when they don't upgrade some things!;)
