This 046/MS460 tank has a slightly wider gas tank than the 044, but a few seconds with a heat gun on my old 044 plastic air cleaner cover and I re-shaped it perfectly to fit right over this 046 tank. Also, the carb studs, are of course for an 046, but since I still had my old 044 studs, I popped them right out and easily swapped them. So far, I've haven't found any other fitting issues with this tank fitting onto an 044 with a 52mm big-bore cylinder/engine. To protect my investment, I also put the full length "skid plate/bottom protector" off "ebay". I only had to place two properly sized standard nuts for spacer under the new plate (between) where the handle bar mounts to the bottom of the saw. I'm very happy with this purchase!
