I've only done that once, and still have the spare cap from the 254 which I scrapped 20 years ago. I've left it off a few saws since then but they are attached and I realize it when I get that tank of B&C oil down my leg.

I suspect yours just didn't get tightened, and fell off while you were cutting?

No, I had just filled the gas and oil, made sure both caps were tight so I'm not sure. I was cutting in and around a bunch of vines so I'm guessing the cap got caught on one maybe, the cap even has a keeper (like they all do) and it still got pulled out!

When I fill my saw I keep saying to myself "put on the cap and tighten before you move your feet". Don't ask why.

There are two kinds of people running saws.

Those who have forgotten to put the cap back on, and those will one day forget.

Actually 4 kinds... those who learn from their mistakes, and those who periodically add another layer of oil to their chaps as waterproofing.

If they made a machine that could stack wood, l would have bought one.

I don't mind stacking; it is restacking after the sun tilts them that I hate. I have 2 rows propped up by boards as I type. Rare, but it happens. Rows always seem to go towards the sun like a sunflower.

As they dry, they shift.
My single rows fall to either side but mostly to the east.
Consequently, l now stack in 15 ft sections where the row is supported by two 2 x4’s stuck in cinder blocks.
That method has reduced topple overs even stacking 4.5 ft high.

Weird thing last week, got done cutting for the day and noticed I had no oil cap on my saw!! In all the years I've been cutting I have never had that happen before, ordered a new cap but after a big rain Thursday I went out and the rain washed the debris off it and I'm back in business! And now with a spare.
So I finally got around to dragging the tree I took down out of the woods, bucked it up and got some of it split. Good to get it out of the woods.

Five. Those who occasionally rinse out the gas tank with chain oil.

Or put the chain on backwards. You only do that once though.

Until the next time.

I’ve never forgot to put the oil cap on, the fuel cap is my go to screw up.

I’ve never forgot to put the oil cap on, the fuel cap is my go to screw up.

I took a fuel shower one day when the ancient gas cap on my 031AV cracked.

I wish I could say I always double-check the filler cap on everything but my tractor currently has a baggie & rubber band over the fuel filler opening pending me getting a replacement cap...
