Stihl MS200T Fuel Tank cracked

challenger · 10th April 2011, 11:40 AM

I need to replace the fuel tank on a stihl MS 200T. The prices I am getting from my local dealers make it nearly pointless to repair the saw. For the labor involved plus close to $150.00 US there is nearly 1/2 of a new saw price. Any advice on Stihl parts without doing anything unethical toward Stihl?
Much appreciation-great site.

Can you use some of that fancy new epoxy on it to seal it?

There are places that can do plastic welding it might be worth a shot, i had a husky handle welded 6 months ago and thats all good
