Stihl fuel elbow.

[starsailor]

Can someone please tell me if the Stihl fuel elbow (part# 4201 007 1032) will fit an 075 fuel tank? I want to add one to my 075 so I can fill the tank when it's still on my Granberg mill while still in the cut. Also, had anyone come up with a good way to fill the bar oil tank in a similar way? Thx!

Can't help you with any info on the elbow but you might also want to make sure you have the larger of the two gas tanks that came with the saw. Some had a .9l tank and and some had a 1.2l tank. It may not sound like much of a difference but it is often just enough to make it through a cut. I have both tanks.

I get about 2.5 tanks of gas per tank of oil and running out of oil in a cut has never been a problem. I am assuming you are already running an auxillary oiler on the tip. If running the tank out of oil is a problem then I would suggest turning the oiler output on the saw down so you don't run out and turning up the auxillary oiler.

Thanks for the info BlueRider.

I like your idea for managing the oiler and oil level in the saw tank. Right now the oiler is set to use just about 1 tank of oil for a tank of gas. That may be set a bit high. Turning it down and the aux oiler up will make that liveable.

I do still want to get the fuel elbow regardless of what tank I have on the saw. I don't know which tank is on the saw, but I can't imagine the fuel elbow costing more than another larger fuel tank.
