Hi,
I have an older Homelite 330 chainsaw which is in excellent condition except for the cap for the fuel/oil tank. The fuel cap is no longer available for purchase. I recently contacted a business that sells Polycaprolactone plastic under the name of "friendly plastic". It is also called Shapelock by other suppliers. I sent an email asking if the low temp plastic was able to withstand gasoline and oil. I received a response that advised me that the low temp plastic has been found to be resistant to some solvents, but I would need to purchase the product and decide for myself if this type of plastic would be resistant to gasoline.
I find it hard to believe that a business that manufacturers this product is unaware of the products ability to resist certain chemicals and solvents. I also asked if it was possible for them to supply me with a chemical analysis that would aid me in researching their product (Polycaprolactone plastic ). They did not even respond to this question.
Can anyone tell me if they have experience working with Polycaprolactone plastic and gasoline resistance, or provide me with some sort of product information that would allow me to do my own research................thanks.
