Question:
I have a problem with a Poulan Pro PP4218AV chainsaw. The gas cap is almost impossible to screw in or out. I have called customer service, and the reason is the plastic cap expands because the gas has ethanol. Their solution: Put gas cap in the sun, so that it can dry out, or use a light bulb or other heat source to dry it out! What a lousy response. How about supplying a cap to consumers that doesn't expand? Just wait, some consumer will use a lighter or blow torch to dry a cap out, and then boom! It is probably time to contact the Bureau of Consumer Protection.
