    It’s a small tank. The electronic module on the right side takes up some tank space

    They may very well burn excessive amounts of fuel, but I haven’t noticed it. At the end of the day, it’s not like “Holy chit, where did all my fuel go?“

    My 036 with the XS sticker may use more fuel going by the clock but going by the quantity of chips I'm not so sure.
    buZZsaw BRAD just send huskihl a saw and see what happens........
    Just wait until he does my 460.

    I went down to the Stihl dealer to buy a 462C and the guy at the counter accidently brought up a 500i with the 28" light bar. After looking it over and seeing it was $200. more than the 462, my wife said go ahead and buy it. I absolutely love this saw. I wasn't impressed with the first few cuts on a 36" hemlock but by the third tank it really came alive. And doesn't seem a whole lot heavier than my 362CM with stock 20" bar.

    No, it's holding down a shelf in the garage.
    It is a angry little saw for sure.
