026 tank vent

[Mkinslow]

I been looking for a tank vent to fit the little 026 I’ve acquired. I’ve come across several different designs and was wondering if the duckbill design is sufficient to stop gas from pouring out 4114 353 1600. Or do I need the other parts also. There’s a lot of different ones out there and I’ve seen different ones on different stihls,but which one is the right one

That’ll have to wait till I get home from work. Don’t have one on my phone. I’m trying to think how to describe it

That would be great bud

These are all the different vents.

 

[EvilRoySlade]

These are up to serial number and date change occurred. This only works if it’s the original tank.

I had #18 which was only around for a year. Makes it very hard to find parts. I ended up buying an older tank that uses #25. There are lots more of those floating around.

Most times vents are used to slow down the venting, not just allow it to happen. So you kinda need the vent part.

Thanks bud. So I match up my serial number from the tank too figure out which one to get

 

[EvilRoySlade]

I might be wrong but I haven’t seen the s/n on the case match any numbers on the tank for any Stihl.

 

[Mkinslow]

I’m not sure. In all this searching I read something that said to use tank serial number to get the correct vent??

 

[EvilRoySlade]

Just looked my tanks over and there is no serial number.

 

[Mkinslow]

Well crap

 

[Mkinslow]

Maybe they meant part number then. I could also have read it wrong

 

[EvilRoySlade]

These are 3 types that I have

Picked up the duckbill vent at dealer today and it fits so I’m figuring I need the other piece like in your second picture

I'm no expert, but the only one I have had that didn't leak was # 16 in the parts diagram.

 

[Mkinslow]

#28 is what I got at the dealer. 23&24 I found in my misc. box of parts and they fit. But I haven’t filled the tank to see what happens. It’s all broken down waiting on a piston anyway
