Stihl hedge cutter fuel cap

[GW8IZR]

I have two types of cap on various Stihl things, the older more conventional cap seems to seal better than the newer black/white ones that close with a half turn.

Plenty suppliers on line have web portals that if you put the type and model number of the tool it will list spares, thats how I bought the last cap for my hedge trimmer. I only buy genuine parts as the copy stuff doesnt seem to last.

I *think* I've used this firm https://www.lsengineers.co.uk/small-plant-spares-17/stihl-parts.html and they have the search mechanism.

and I think these helped me with an obscure recoil spring for a saw https://www.gardenhirespares.co.uk/ but I had to phone them.

Our local shop always has the parts but circa 3x the price, I always try to support local shops but there is a limit.

I bought a cheap stihl hedge cutter.
An old model, hs61.
It was sold as "spares repairs with fuel leak" but its just had the wrong fuel cap fitted.

Can anyone point me towards a source for a replacement fuel cap?

I only seem to be able to get one from the states: and £6 + £16 postage and a fortnight's wait isn't doing it for me.
My local stihl "dealers" are only interested in selling me a new machine.
I'm not spending 300 quid to cut 30ft of hedges - I just want to cut em when *I* want. Not just when it's dry.

ordering from the states can lead to a customs surcharge , wife ordered swimsuits at 8$ each , customs surcharge 60$ ,be aware....

I would suggest you go to an old style independent garden equipment place, preferably out in the country. Most of the well established ones will have a graveyard full of old saws, lawnmowers, etc and might have a cap for your saw.
My dad ran over the oil filler cap for the lawnmower & damaged it. Local dealer tried to sell me a dipstick unit for £30! I went to an independent place, he led me to his graveyard, found the right cap & only charged me £3! Guess where I go now for my spares!

I detest those half turn caps, the chain oil one on our saw is very difficult to close. Some times you think its closed, lift the saw up & get a leg full of chain oil.

Item 22 £6.32, you may need some of the other associated parts for the cap too

This is a complete one, the application list doesn't list HS61 but the P/N is the same

*think* I've managed to source one from a local lawn mower place.
£4.50!

I'll take the machine over to them on Monday, and make sure I get the right one.

hand out custom charges most days ,prices vary ,very seldom under £25, states is the prime candidate.
