The tank is an essential component of a petrol chainsaw or pole pruner. Depending on the model, it may be the fuel tank or the chain oil tank. It stores the fluids required for engine operation and chain lubrication. A tank in good condition ensures reliable fluid supply, perfect sealing and safe operation.

At Probois Machinoutils, we offer a wide selection of fuel tanks, chain oil tanks, and related replacement parts for Scheppach, Woodstar, and selected Parkside chainsaws and pole pruners manufactured by Scheppach.

What is the purpose of a tank on a chainsaw or pole pruner?

The tank stores the fuel or chain oil required for the proper operation of the machine.

Its main functions are to:

• store the fuel mixture for the engine;

• provide a constant fuel supply to the carburettor;

• store chain lubrication oil;

• ensure leak-free fluid storage;

• provide sufficient operating autonomy;

• maintain the machine's performance.

A properly functioning tank contributes directly to the reliability and safe operation of your machine.

When should a tank be replaced?

A tank should be replaced if it shows:

• cracks;

• fuel or oil leaks;

• impact damage causing deformation;

• damaged filler cap threads;

• broken hose connections;

• significant wear caused by ageing.

A damaged tank may lead to leaks, poor engine fuel supply or insufficient chain lubrication.

Common causes of wear

Several factors can damage a tank over time.

The most common causes include:

• impacts and accidental drops;

• continuous vibration;

• natural ageing of the plastic;

• prolonged exposure to fuel;

• temperature fluctuations;

• overtightening of the filler cap.

Regular inspection helps identify early signs of damage before they become serious.

Symptoms of a faulty tank

A damaged tank can cause several operating problems.

The most common symptoms include:

• fuel leaks;

• chain oil leaks;

• a smell of petrol around the machine;

• irregular engine fuel supply;

• oil leakage during storage;

• reduced operating time between refills.

Replacing a damaged tank promptly helps prevent more serious failures and ensures safe operation.
