Stihl ms 460 mag fueltank ?

[Chiknhawk]

Back when I was the lead tech at a very big stihl shindawa dealer ..aftermarket parts were far few between . but the ones we could get were cheaper as well as quality. but factory parts were not outrageous..most time factory r&r ...
I need a ms 460 magnum tank.. I dropped my unicorn last night busted the tank on work bench... wanting to sell her and can not deside if I pay close to 200$ for a tank.. it says stihl on side ..which let me remind you when you bought a factory ms460mag it did not say stihl on tank in raised letters.. no sir that's just a market managment parts strad. Or do I pay close to what a factory one used to cost and slap a after market on a stihl saw without stihl raised on side of tank so someone can ***** after buying that its aftermarket but cuts the same feels looks and performance the same ??????? Please give me a discussion about this

The aftermarket tank/handles have been very good to me. I have a couple on my own personal saws and have sold many many saws with aftermarket handles. I always swap the ignition/choke lever for OEM but that aside the tanks are generally good. It’s one of the few aftermarket parts that I use without worry.

If you disclose that it has a China tank, how can they complain? Whether you sell it with a broken tank, a new OEM, or cheap one from China, your mistake cost you some $$. I'm guessing each option is probably close to the same in the end.

Yep so true I'll disclose it and it was a expensive slip . The old handle been faded and typical scratches here and there my saws get treated with care I like to say... this stihl I bought back.. from a guy who ran it for maybe two tanks of fuel and came back to shop that 460 scared the Dickins out him ..I tried to tell him it was not a toy none are a toy they demand respect and caution ...he ended up taking a smaller husqvarna If my memory serves me correct and I set him up with chaps hard hat ear eye protection gloves exc..when he came back after I sold him this 460 he walked in with shorts on and wood chips on legs and socks carrying a 460 with a 28 in bar full house .. sorry for rambling dont get to talk much at home been married my whole life lol
