The Stihl Grommet (OEM 4223 353 9201) is a genuine replacement fuel system sealing component designed for use on selected Stihl petrol-powered equipment. Installed within the fuel tank assembly, the grommet provides a secure seal around the fuel hose or fuel system components, helping to prevent fuel leaks while protecting against the ingress of dirt, dust, and moisture into the fuel system.
Manufactured to OEM specifications from durable fuel-resistant rubber, the grommet is engineered to withstand continual exposure to fuel, vibration, temperature fluctuations, and the demanding conditions encountered during professional landscaping, forestry, and construction applications. Precision-manufactured for an accurate fit, it is designed as a direct replacement component to restore the integrity of the fuel tank assembly.

Always verify compatibility using the machine model and serial number before ordering, as grommets can vary in diameter, material specification, and application between machine models and production revisions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always confirm the correct OEM part number, machine model, serial number, and fuel system specification before ordering, as grommets are manufactured to precise dimensions and material specifications. Installing the correct component is essential to maintain a leak-free fuel system, protect against contamination, and ensure reliable engine operation.
Common signs of a worn or damaged grommet include fuel leakage, cracking, hardening, swelling, splitting, or deterioration caused by age and fuel exposure. When replacing the grommet, it is recommended to inspect the fuel hose, fuel tank, fuel filter, and surrounding fuel system components for signs of wear or damage. Replacing any worn associated components at the same time will help maximise the reliability and service life of the complete fuel system.
