Poulan pro fuel cap

[phil21502]

any help on finding a fuel cap for a poulan pro 5020av? I can't find them anywhere and need one badly. Thanks for any assistance.

Part #: 580940901. They fit about 3 billion Poulans. I need one, too. These caps swell and you can't put on/pull off w/o vise grips. I may just put it on a grinding stone and see if that works. May not but I'll feel better after giving it some pain.

leave the cap off for a few days and will shrink back up. set it in the sun. the fuel swells them. I suppose cheap material.

Put it in a Zip lock bag and put it in the freezer.

Hi Mark

I found a set of caps in my local automotive/hardware store and just switch out the gas cap when it swells with the dried out one.

Put it in a Zip lock bag and put it in the freezer.

Thanks, Guido. Cap in freezer works purty dang good.

I tend to keep most of my saws drained (except my 200T and 044) which seems to help. On my Pioneer and Poulan Pros I barely thread the caps on, just enough to keep them on and dirt out.
