t540xp fuel tank leak

[18 stoner]

As title, anyone have any tanks leaking?

 

Also should this be covered on warranty with a 3 month old saw?

From the tank itself or carb area? And if its not caused by rough treatment and normal daily use then it in my opinion should be a warranty repair.

Skyhuck has had this problem I think . .....

It seems to be coming from a joint in the tank.

 

It's wettest around the top right corner of the tank, where it seems the side panel of the tank has a seam where it's bonded to the main body of it.

 

Mainly wondering if it's a "common" problem, as otherwise I dare say it would be easy to be accused of rough treatment!😛

Mine failed on the seam, not covered by warranty.

 

Mine has been rubbish, I'll never buy another, 201 for me.

So Huck, did they say it had been due to heavy use?

The whole top handle fell off mine, Husky wont repair it after under 3 months use! Needless to say i wont be buying anything that isnt stihl from now on

Will, what broke? Was it the plastics or the av springs? Were the springs bent?

The front mount gave out, the one under the stop switch. The plastic has just snaped, it went when i tryed to start it (warm) The av mounts were all fine beforehand, bent now!

 

I will try and upload a pic later when i get time

I think it is a real shame . Husky has had shed loads of time to develop this saw and test it thoroughly . The potential was there but they have missed a trick if you ask me . When you first get it it seems great . Cuts strong and handles sweet but as time goes on things start to crop up . The rear AV spring thing is a joke . The Cadburys bar is another . The splitting fuel tank ( which I have not expedience yet ) is another . With no opposition at the time they have shot them selves in the bollox . A real Shame . When its going its a cracker but its tooo fragile ....
