The Metal Fuel Tank on my B&S 9.5 Lb/Ft torque XR950 Model 130000 engine is rusty and fouls the fuel system/carb. It is mounted on a DR Chipper purchased in 2017.

I had cleaned it out removing all rust and mounted a New in-tank filter, but I’m sure it is rusty again.

I bought a can of fuel tank costing, but never got around to recleaning the original tank and applying the coating.

I noticed that there are Plastic replacement tanks, but I don’t know the correct P/N to order.

I “believe” the current Metal tank is P/N: 592877.

Does anyone know the correct Plastic replacement tank P/N?

Thank You

There is no replacement that I know of due OSHA regs. This engine was design for go cart use which require only metal tanks for safety purposes.

Thank You for the reply. Hmmm… this engine is on a Chipper/Shreader.

Thanks again.

The actual model type and code from the engine would really help us to identify what is available.

It is a B&S XR950 Professional,
Serial No.: 16-0624-98-69674

purchased in 2017

So it is an 130G32-0127-F1 Some of the older single cylinder horizontal intek engines had plastic fuel tanks, but the XR. CR series are kinda a Honda clone which uses metal fuel tanks.

Thank You.

Could one of the earlier plastic fuel tanks bolt on?

No totally different mounting setup.

Good to know.

Thanks

Could something like this work or be adapted?
