Matryx fuel tank

[A@ron]

Went to summarize my wife’s 23 pro today and stuck my syphon down into the tank and realized that you can’t. The tank fill bends back towards the rear of the sled. How do you guys syphon or get the fuel out of these tanks?

Lay them on their side and lift up on the bumper. Had to steal a bit of gas this way to get down on my boost a few times?

You can unhook the small fuel line coupler on the tank, install a hose long enough to run to a fuel can.
Power up the fuel pump with a 12 volt battery and you can drain the tank.

That’s a great idea.

how big is your siphon. i have siphoned out of my 22NA a couple of times with no issue. mine is approximately 1/2 OD with a squeeze pump on it

I’ve syphoned out of my 22 and 23. No problem. My hose is about half inch diameter and I tape a bolt on the end to keep it down.

Run ethanol free gas and do not bother draining it. Mine always start right up no problem after sitting all summer. I know that is not helpful but just seems extreme to go through all the trouble to drain gas.

Unfortunately summit county CO doesn’t have any non eth or I couldn’t find any. I’ll be bringing in my own gas next time or just go north to ? ears Or buff.

End of the season now and as in past years (25 or more) I put in either Sta-Bil or Sea Foam fuel staiblizer for the summer and usually fill the tanks so very little air present on top of fuel, I try and start and bring up to temp on all sleds in the trailer each month and jack rear and engage clutch and turn track a few revs and then set back down for another month. This seems to get the job done and has worked for our crew for years and there are 4 sleds in the trailer and 2 in the shop.

I just put in sea foam. Every two weeks I clean my garage, push the sleds on their summer storage lifts and Dolly to the door and fire them up. My anti fun, can’t don’t won’t neighbor doesn’t like the noise but he can ef off as I put up with his drunken yelling in his garage at night. I used to use a cheap multipurpose electric pump to pull a lot of the fuel out that I got from my father when he passed away. I believe Harbor Freight has something similar for $8.
