What to do about fuel vapor lock on Polaris Ranger?
So far, to address fuel vapor lock problems on 2011 and 2012 Rangers, Polaris has this as an authorized fix for these older machines and at the dealer I work at, we have been able to cover the cost of repair to the customer by submitting it as an emissions warranty claim.
What’s the fuel pump pressure on a Polaris Ranger?
Starting with the 2013 model 800 Ranger models (and only the 800’s that I know of for now), the fuel pump pressure is 58 psi and not 40. This was something Polaris did to address hot fuel tank problems but didn’t really make a lot of noise about this change.
Where is the fuel line on a Polaris Ranger?
Besides the “hot tank theory” the fuel line crosses the exhaust pipe very close, within four inches. Previous years equipped with EFI had run the fuel line along the top of the seat with adequate protection for the hose and away from heat (surprisingly had no vapor lock with 39 psi pumps).
Why is there a hole in my Polaris Ranger?
THE PRESSURE FROM THE BODY WEIGHT ALSO PLACED A HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THE HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE AND STATED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SEATS.
