Looking to buy a used 038 fuel tank/rear handle assembly. Must be in good functioning condition. Doesn't need to look the best.

Seems to be a very normal request here.
Oh wait, two of them in the last yr were from you
.
You should just bump your own ad rather than creating an new one every week.
Hope you find one.

How do you bump it?
Just say "back to the top", "bump", "still looking".

I think I mentioned the 038S tank is the same thing. The 038 will work but it's magnesium.

That's a good thing to do. Apparently they are very scarce.
Why are the magnesium ones so frowned upon? Too heavy or too weak?

China sells new plastic ones

China doesn't do quality control. Tried one from farmertec. It was 3/8 0f an in too big and the air filter wouldn't fit.

Stihl has them brand new OEM if you want to spend the coin. The used market is getting kind of scarce but they're out there. I just bought an mostly complete used 038 Mag parts saw on eBay for like $150. Just have to be quick on the click.
Last I checked new OEM 038 tanks are $180 ish dollars.
I tried to get one last week and was told they aren't available in the USA
I’ll take a look tomorrow at work. Last one I bought was 18 months ago or so. Stihl Northwest had them in stock last summer so things could have certainly changed between then and now.
Tank housing 1119 350 0822 shows as discontinued or obsolete. Looks like they’ve dried up in North America.
Is a dealer able to order one from out of country?
We’ve never done it a my shop. I suppose if you knew someone high up on the food chain with Stihl you probably could. They do pop up on eBay from time to time.
