We had talked about this before. But I cant find the pics here right now showing the differences in the old tanks and the updated tanks. Along with that update you got the updated air filter set ups too.
The reason I switch out all my old style 475 415 tanks. But I do have a 415 that came with the new style tank and air filter set up when it was bought new.
Had yellow updated tank.
Save till I dig up the pics. Just bought a ole yellow bare tank like the ones I use.
Info on early tanks with early air filter style 415 475 = Bob Morrison I was involved in the development of that saw. The original-style air filter on the 415 and 475 didn't work. Took me about two years to convince the Swedes of that.
-
Here is poulan 475 and early 415 tanks I have sold in past. NOS and used.
To show. They used the old air filter set ups. So you can see the difference.
-
The updated style that comes on the later 415 and then 425 445 505
-
Last 415 that came in with old air filter set up and tank. I put the newer updated tank and air filter set up on.
-
Just checking in to learn about old and new style filter/fuel tanks.
If I am reading this right, I have an old style filter on my 475.

Yes sir you have the old style 475 415 air filter tank and set up
I have NOS and used parts for those if you ever need them
I'd be changing that impulse line in that pic too, looks hardened. Try some oem echo line in black.
-
Ok, Thanks! Also thanks for telling me about this forum!!! I Really think it is better than others! I like the format
-
@Pitbullman you have the newer better updated air filter and tank set up right?
-
I will take pics of the difference in the air filter covers too. Easy fix just remove some plastic.
-
Just posting some pics to show the difference in the 2. Ones for air injection and ones not. The older can be made to work with the AI with grinding or cutting the plastic to work.
The handle has a extra hole in it where some had a broken plastic tank av fix. Still usable.

Pics of early 415 and tank used on 475. Plus the later style tank and air filter set up used on 425 445 505. This one from a jonsered 2083

Just saving some pics of the early 415 475 tanks.
One has a redneck repair on it that came from someone buying a NOS tank I had. Great fix IMHO.
Cass brake section too.
Showing the trigger system etc.
First time noticing this tank vent style in one. IPL http://www.barrettsmallengine.com/partslist/poulanpropp415chainsaw.pdf of what I am used to seeing. Wonder if someone changed it at the FD.

Redneck tank and cass
-
Installing the parts from the early tank I sold. To the newer updated tanks I like. Also checking for leaks.
Before and after cleaning with WD40 cleaner 1st time and water, 2nd time wd40 and brush then water.
-
Shop on the CRG was looking for a tank. He stated fell from a tree 20'-25'.
IMO lucky thats all that happened to it.
-
I been ask so I'll show what I do to update the poulan 415 and 475 to the newer updated tanks and air filter set ups I like of the two.
425 445 505 used these updated set ups plus some other updates. I use the coil spring AV on upper and lower if I have them on hand over the rubber av.
Being no air injection on these I open the side tank hole up air. Might not be needed but I do it.
Air filter cover has to be gutted so the new style air filter fits inside the cover.
Was ask over on chainsaw repair group facebook
This one is spoke for right now through Jan. Just going to hold it till after the crazy shipping season.
That way new owner may change his mind by then too. ;)
-
couple more to save
-
The red updated tank is spoke for. A guy has been looking for one. He said the saw got smashed 10 years ago and the handle too. He joined the CRG and seen my tank in a pic. So packed up to get another saw going.
-
Was discussing the hard to find yellow updated tanks that has the updated air filter system with a guy that worked for poulan back then. The yellow updated ones came after the 475 yellow style with that crappy air filter system. But before the black tanks used last with the air injection and updated air filters.
I have only seen 2 to date and I have owned both of those. 1 came on a poulan 415 that was sold at TSC local and even had the partner yellow air filter cover.
Here is what he said about the updated yellow tanks. = Pilot run units. I think they made 50 if I remember correctly.
The yellow partner air filter cover on the poulan. = That is the Partner air filter cover. Ha. A little assembly line whoopsie.
How he feels on the 475 set up. = I have had too many beers since then, but the Partner saws kept the yellow tank. They never changed to black. I did it to erase the bad memory of the 475.
-
2 folks on CRB needing tanks. All updated tank set ups for 425 445 505. One for a 475 though.
Pulled 3 tanks down yesterday. 2 stripped bare.
1 SOLD and 1 wasnt good enough to sell so just a back up. Had JB where a chain been thrown. Other left whole still. till I find out how they want it.
-
Years back I ran into a issue updating a 415 to the updated tank and air filter set ups.
Well been helping 2 guys out with this and one of them ran into the same issue I had only 1 other time.
Some of the older carbs RIGHT one have the longer area on choke that will hit new air filter base.
For me I just chose another carb. For him just file that area away till clears when choke pulled.
Newer carbs LEFT. Older carbs RIGHT.
This is also for 475.
I only ever had this happen once. Now years later another.

There is Gen1 Gen2 Gen3 tanks for these.
Been helping a guy over the phone in Ohio with his poulan 415. Gen1
He was telling me his tank is gapped at top.
Unlike the 2083 Gen3 he has.
Never seen one like he described. So had him send me a pic.
Other one is also a gen1 tank I have saved by another owner. Now I have a clue as why it had 2 rivets there with something on back side holding together there maybe.
Then one of my old ones in gen2 how supposed to be.
