Hi folks, it's been a while since I've posted anything. Good to be back. On the type and model listed above, is the fuel tank removable? If so, how? I have the service manual and there is nothing. It looks like it should but could the manufacturer have used an adhesive? Thank you.

It is bonded to the RH handle half it is attached to and not available separately. So to remove the tank you must disassemble the handle.

Good morning Mechanic Mark,
I checked out the link you sent me. Some of the videos I was familiar with. Unfortunately my question still remained. I appreciate your help and I thank you. Have a great day!!

Good morning Star Tech, as the saying goes...."No further questions your honor"!! Thank you for your help. Looking at the picture, it now makes sense. If I may ask, where is this picture from? It reminds me of Partstree.com but they do not carry Stihl equipment/parts or information. Again, thank you my day will be better knowing I'm not mad!! Lol

Thank you StarTech. I do believe that type of info in a notebook form would look nice in the garage file cabinet!! 🤓

Actually I don't want to know but yes that just a snip screen shot of my file directory. The directory if zipped would be nearly 1 GB in size and contain Stihl 301 files currently.

See Stihl restricts these files to dealers in the US and regular dealers have direct online access to all the files. I don't but have a source where I can get the info when I need it and I keep a copy of files on my Google drive and local drive.

Nice!
since i have a tax free commercial account with the local JD/Stihl dealer they let me lookup parts on their system. It's better than nothing.

Most dealers can do that for you but it is lot easier to do repairs when you can look up the parts and where they are on the ipls and to have the sevice manuals at your finger tips.

I also have a commercial account at JD but it has been virtually useless ever since they took away my discounts and then they started charging a shipping fee nearly every part I needed. I now buy from another local dealer that gives me a 10% discount on the Stihl parts and buy the JD stuff out of state from a dealer that still gives me the discount.

I am just a pack rat when it comes to manuals as if I need it once I probably going need it again.
