Stihl gas and oil caps like or loath?

Annnnd, had a flippy-cap failure today. I wasn't the one who caused it, and luckily I didn't pour the oil on my leg, but did dump about half a full saws worth of bar oil on the driveway.

Send it over and I'll try some of my Husky flip caps to let you know. Probably need a few years of testing to say for sure though.

But seriously, I'll try to remember to put calipers on them and compare to the older saws I have next time I'm at the shop (next few days are not promising for that!). Do you know if the 346XP caps are interchangeable with other saws? maybe something like the 338XPT that probably overlaps manufacture date would be similar...but that may be smaller? Perhaps my 455 Rancher (also may be same vintage) or543XP (newer)?. The only Husqvarna I have with flip caps is a 562XP I'll see if those caps fit any of the others.

It turns out that the flippy Husky caps do fit the gas tank on both my 346xp and my 3120xp. Gonna try oil caps next. The hex scrench caps are the worst. They get rounded out immediately. As an aside, I came across and bought another 346xp with a 20" Tsumura light bar and gutted muffler for $350. Lucky find!
