Replace the petrol cap. There is an active recall here in the U.S. regarding the petrol cap. If the vent in the cap is not working as designed, a vacuum will build and prevent fuel flow. On some Stihl products there is a separate vent so look around for a vent.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Gas powered STIHL trimmers, brushcutters, KombiMotors, hedge trimmers, edgers, clearing saws, pole pruners, and backpack blowers that utilize a toolless fuel cap are all involved in that recall.[/FONT]
