Has Polaris issued a recall for the oil cap?

[Danbot]

Got it finished up this afternoon.

Fitting in tank is 1/2" pipe thread to 5/16" barb. The 1/4" hose slipped over the barb pretty easily with just a little heat. I was surprised that the tank is actually fairly thick where I installed the fitting. The check valve is from Polaris.
Had enough hose left over to re-route the VES dump hose out by the muffler outlet.

OIL CAP

I am a true believer in "Re" venting the tank or cap. I personally just did the cap. Used way more oil in my 13 this way. Did it to my 15 straight away when I got it home from the dealer. I am just more than aware if the sled spends any time upside down or on its side, I gotta get it stood back on the skis soon or there could be a drip.

Call me crazy, but I will take a little oil film on the tank over a burnt piston any day. Shoot I usually am the guy who forgets to put on the oil cap at least once a year! That little drip is nothing at that point.

Also, that little drip is nothing compared to the mess the hose off the power valves make in the bottom of the bulk head.

My next invention......double trouble oil cap vent, in line into power valve dump that exits the belly/bulk head just in front of the can.

I smell a kit coming......2 birds one stone. Pat pending on this idea.....lol

What did ya end up doing? Kit? Thanks

Just buy a Ski Doo cap. It won’t leak, and made to not hold vacuum.

Make it easy take a hot coat hanger and heat it up put a hole in the cap done go ride, even upside down you see minimum oil leak out..

Is it true that a oil cap off a current doo is the current trick to resolving ?

Yes. One and done, on multiple sleds. Doo duck bill caps have never leaked rolling sleds over dozens of times. No hoses, no leaks, no collapsed tanks.

Has anyone used a duckbill from a DEF jug? Just drill a hole and push it in.

5 years ago I solved the problem on all three of our pros with Doo caps after my 11 pro 800 163 seized a rod because of lack of lube so I know that works and no leaks when sled is inverted.

The last 2 polaris sleds I have had I put the skidoo cap on. That alone has allowed probably around 1/4 more oil to flow per tank of fuel and has never leaked when upside down or rolling over... cheap fix and it works.

Which skidoo oil cap are you guys ordering?

Cat uses a duckbill as well.
