Description
Overview:
This Tank Vent is a genuine Stihl spare part designed for the Stihl 044 and MS 440 chainsaws. Made from fuel‐resistant polymer components, it allows controlled airflow into the fuel tank while resisting fuel splash, helping to prevent a vacuum from forming. A healthy vent keeps fuel delivery stable, so the engine runs reliably under load and at idle. If a tank cannot breathe, the saw may lose power, hesitate, or stall as the tank empties. With OEM Part No. 1128 350 5805, this vent provides the correct fit and function for the specified models, supporting dependable performance in forestry, arborist, and general cutting work. This is a Genuine Stihl part engineered for compatibility, durability, and consistent sealing.

Typical Applications:
Used on professional and domestic chainsaws to maintain proper fuel tank breathing during felling, logging, cross‐cutting, and firewood processing. Ideal when a saw shows symptoms of restricted venting, such as loss of power after a short run, stalling when hot, or a pronounced hiss when opening the fuel cap. Suitable for routine maintenance or like‐for‐like replacement during a fuel system refresh.
