  • / Gas tank bracket attaching from older Briggs to new one.
Trying to add a gas tank from my older Briggs motor (Model 217802) onto a new Briggs E1150 engine that came without a fuel tank attached. Any help with how to mount the bracket that attaches to the tank from the old motor to the new one would be appreciated.

It would help if we had the full model type code from both engine so we can compare them.

The old Briggs is Model 217802 Type 0145 B1 code 0802147A and the new Briggs is Model 21R8070072G1 11.5 hp Type E1150.
