Snapper gas tank replacement

[mrblurr]

Just wondering if the tank from the newer style of snappers (with the gauge on the cap) would fit on my older style Snapper (same basic shape, but without the gauge on the cap because it curves inward on that side)

Also, can the air filter on my mower be cleaned or is it mostly just a scenario of "It's too dirty, buy a new one"? It's got a thin foam around it that I hosed down and replaced, and there wasn't a large amount of dirt on the actual filter...so I'm not sure. It runs fine, I've just been checking EVERYTHING after it sat for 2 years. I still have the air filter and Spark Plug (mainly cause I don't have the socket part to remove it yet)

The foam part you just re-oil with some SAE 30. Dip it in oil then squeeze out the excess. If the paper filter doesn't look too bad you can just blow it out with some compressed air or knock it on a hard surface.

The newer tank may also fit. I had a new snapper in for maintenance not long ago and the bottom of the tanks looked the same. I'd look at them closely just to be sure.

Those are great mowers by the way! If I didn't have such a big yard I'd love a Snapper.
