Mark Britnell –
Product fit just as good as the OEM part from Stihl. No complaints.

My husband dropped a log on the fuel cap or his log splitter damaging it. The description of this cap listed the Kohler SH265 engine so we decided to order. Sometimes ordering online doesn’t always work out even with the correct item numbers. However, this time the item proved to be the exact duplicate of the original fuel cap and he is thrilled by the prompt one day delivery.

So grateful this fuel cap was available for my new Earthquake rototiller, which came out of the box brand new with a broken fuel cap. Tried to get one directly from Earthquake, but alas, they no longer supply parts for the unit I purchased. Well, it was fortunate I came upon this Ruma Cap for Kohler. It fits perfectly. Thank you.
