Product Description
Eskimo 12863 KIT GAS TANK TWO TAB STYLE ICE
Breathe new life into your trusted ice auger with the genuine Eskimo 12863 Two-Tab Style Gas Tank Kit. This complete, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) kit is designed to be a direct replacement for your old, cracked, or leaking fuel tank, ensuring a perfect fit and restoring your auger to peak operational performance and safety.
Don't let a faulty fuel tank cut your day on the ice short. A compromised tank can lead to fuel leaks, which are not only a safety hazard but also cause hard starting and poor engine performance. This all-in-one kit provides everything you need to perform a clean and reliable replacement, getting you back to drilling holes quickly and efficiently.
The "Two-Tab" style is a key design feature of this tank. It refers to the two mounting tabs located on the base of the tank that are used to secure it to the auger's engine frame. Please verify that your current tank uses this two-tab mounting system before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Important Compatibility Note: Eskimo has used different tank styles over the years.
