Fuel Filter / Fuel Lines

This snowmobile is not equipped with an in-line fuel filter. The fuel pump uses a sock-type pickup filter located within the fuel tank. This filter should only require maintenance if debris or foreign material enters the fuel tank. An authorized dealer can provide service.

Contaminated or poor quality fuel may shorten the life of fuel system components and result in poor engine performance. Always store fuel in clean fuel containers. If low fuel pressure or reduced engine performance occurs, the filter may need replacement. An authorized dealer can assist.

Inspect the fuel lines regularly for signs of deterioration or damage. Always check fuel line condition after periods of storage. Normal deterioration from weather and fuel compounds may occur. Replace worn or damaged fuel lines promptly.

NOTICE

Kinking the fuel lines or using a pliers or similar tools to remove fuel lines may cause damage to the lines. If a fuel line has been damaged or kinked, replace it promptly.
