No one hurt Made Jul 27, 2026, sent to the company Jul 31, 2026, published by CPSC Aug 14, 2026
The product, in the report: 8 HP Kohler Engine on a Gravely Tractor. Engine model: K181S, Engine Spec: 301059, Engine Serial: 2416406982. Tractor Model: 985105, Tractor Serial: 000109
Almost had a large fire due to an unsafe plastic fuel tank design. Kohler has washed it’s hands of the engine business, and the new owner, Rehlko, does not answer the phone. The dealer says “Part unavailable”. The plastic used disintegrates over time and is very very dangerous. I had a lake of gasoline in the shop and was lucky it didn’t catch fire. Lots of things have plastic tanks and don’t do this. The particular plastic used is an epic level of engineering incompetence. There should be a recall for all the K181 series of Kohler engines, where they furnish a tank made of proper plastic for that application.
