Pulling the Fuel Line
Q. We have a ’07 Ski-Doo 550 fan. How does one get the fuel line with the filter attached out of the tank? There is an insert at the top under the fuel fill cap that doesn’t seem to want to come out. This insert looks like it’s there to direct the gas to the back of the tank when filling. In order to unhook the fuel line to get at the filter, this insert has to come out. Or do you pull out the pressed-in fitting where the fuel line enters the tank in front? Then the line and the
filter attached can come out. Does this sound right? – Polaris500

A. You can remove the fuel line where it enters the tank in front. Pull out the male fitting (Part #21 in photo) where the line enters the tank. You should then be able to remove the entire hose assembly and replace the filter. I would suggest replacing the grommet (Part #22) on the fuel line inlet as well, just to ensure a tight seal upon reinstallation. – Jason Houle, Straightline Performance
