I'm replacing the original metal gas tank on my Stihl 038 with one of those aftermarket ones.
I just fought to get the manifold hose and clamp back on. I was ready to put the vibration isolator screws in, to mount the tank to the saw, and it looks like the holes in the plastic tank aren't tapped. Anyone replace a gas tank with a plastic aftermarket tank and run into a similar situation?
I guess I'm going to have to find what metric size the bolts are and then find a tap.
Any idea what size bolts they are?
I guess use a tapering tap first and then finish up with a bottoming taper?
