Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl air filter element is a replacement intake filter for selected handheld leaf blowers and shredder vacs, including the BG45 and BG55. The element is made from durable open‐cell foam that traps dust and debris while allowing the correct airflow to the carburettor, helping the engine start easily, run smoothly and maintain power. Designed to fit the airbox precisely on compatible Stihl machines, it supports reliable performance in everyday use and reduces engine wear. Fitting is straightforward and part of routine servicing, making it suitable for both professional users and home gardeners. Regular replacement of the filter helps protect the engine in dusty conditions and supports clean emissions and fuel efficiency across the tool's working life.
