Been running them since they came out and have had none break or none ever dump gas or oil from not locking. That is in pro use. Al, its a simple cap, try to figure it out, its not hard. But, we get the high quality German made cap, not the cheap US ones. Just kidding Al.

I don't know if they are made in Germany or China . Many components are of Pacific rim origin .

Info for you Al.

Howdy,

Since this thread was started it came to my attention the failure of flippys was the fact the o-ring swelled up .

I had found the genaric size and put it on several sites .A bag of them sells for peanuts,cheap .I assume the ethanol in the gas causes the buna-n o-ring to loose elasticity  over time .

My 361 had some issues with the original gas cap, never dumped it but sometimes the thing would take 5 or more tries to get it. Then one day it just broke. Since replacing no issues at all. Got em on 3 Stihls.

I have flippy caps on a couple Stihls. Never any problem.

Sure had trouble with a lightly used Sthil 025. It dumped fuel on me #*^*. I tighten the old caps with the scrench.
