Anybody had any issues with their fuel cap swelling up? mines less than a year old and the other day noticed that it was getting harder and harder to do up the cap. ordered a new one and its fine. looking at the old one it looked like it had swelled up?

Am looking for a new saw, and was considering the 501, they are very epensive here in Ireland, I had one last year and made the mistake of selling it, great saw, probably did not have it long enough for the cap swelling as it never happened.

I had a 2153 Jonsered that came new with a very tight fitting cap, the only saw ever that took more time to put the cap back on than it took to fill it up, but what a fantastic little beast it was.

Not a big issue though, I guess weight saving on materials is nearing the limits,

thankfully as a new cap sorted the issue, we can trust the tank casing

was not the part that got smaller, now that would be an issue.

The Echo has a rather large rubber gasket on the tanks. The good news is it won't leak. The bad news is you have to be mindful and not cinch it down like you would on some other saws. Just snug it does the trick.
