[QUOTE="Brine, post: 167211, member: 1053"] He also has the Stihl string trimmer, and after leaking gas from it in the trunk of his car.... was cursing it to no end. I got to see the gas cap and that has to be the most over-engineered piece of plastic I have ever seen. Why the heck complicate putting on a gas cap? For those that are unfamiliar, after you screw the cap down tight, there is a locking type mechanical switch on the cap to ensure it doesn't leak, and putting the cap on is like a 2 or 3 step process. I would guess there are around 5 seperate parts to the gas cap. :?: Sure enough, after finding a replacement one from a tool repair shop here....The business told my brother that it was a known problem with the Stihl and had plenty of replacements in stock. In the meantime, I told him he could borrow my Ryobi which was going on 10 years old :LOL2: [/QUOTE]
