Hi every body, this is my first post in this forum, now happy to be part of it.

I do have a Stihl FS76 weed trimmer, and it had been seated in my garage for several months, now I need it to work my yard in a new location were I moved and found that the fuel tank it is cracked (I made a research and found that the tank actual PN: 4133 350 0400).

Also I found a Stihl distributor near to my work place and have ordered, tree weeks later, they said that it is in back order, I wondering if other fuel tank could fit on my trimmer, I found several options that I found in very popular web place, as the following parts number:

4137 351 0400

There were 2 different fuel tanks that were used if I'm not mistaken.

One used a single tank grommet that both fuel lines came through and the later version used 2 separate tank grommets and 2 separate fuel lines.

Which do you have?

Not sure if either is still available, but will check tomorrow and report back.

Even if they are both NLA, there is still another tank that can be used...

You can use ebay to order the part, i see a couple tanks on there now. or try your hand at fixing the crack, there is a product called Seal-all I have used that to repair several tanks including one on a fs 76

I have a ton of FS76's from a lawn company I bought. Send me a message pay shipping and I will send you one or you can use the fs80 tank, it is not approved by Stihl but works. The fs80 tank is bigger and sticks out the sides farther.

No part number listed any longer for the single grommet tank, so it is NLA.

Part Number for the double grommet FS76 tank is 4133 350 0400. Not listed as NLA, but my distributor does not stock them. Tank is nearly $40.00! (Fuel lines in this tank are side by side and are running across the tank).

Can use Part Number 4137 350 0410, and as mentioned it is slightly wider but will fit just fine. (Fuel lines in this tank are side by side and are running front to back). This tank sells for just under $18.00 with both lines and grommets. Does not include fuel cap or fuel filter!

Jeff, would you know if the FS75 had the same tank as the 76? I've got a pile of parts from an FS75 I haven't had the heart to throw out and a tank is in that pile. IIRC, the tank I have is single grommet.

I didn't recall any other version of tank on the FS75 other then the one I listed above? But then again I'm getting older and can't remember squat anymore. :laugh:

The IPL also just shows a single version which used the 4137 350 0410 tank.

Here is the IPL...
