Whoever designed that gas tank must have designed the F-16 also. I worked on them in the late eighties.. this is giving me flashbacks and ptsd. LOL

I'm gonna go change my fuel pump now and I'm not gonna remove my pump shoe, even if I could.

Interesting video! I don't think I would last very long as a Jet Ski mechanic! LOL 😂

Thanks for sharing. See ya next week Jimmy. I hope you're feeling better.

@indianbill3123 2 years ago

seems like using an oil extractor like the ones used to change car oil would be an easy way to vacuum out the debris in that gas tank

@batteryman16 2 years ago

Good tips for those that have a SXR. Wow that is a beefy pump shoe but pretty crazy how it cant be replaced.

Man you work really fast! Heh heh

Jim. This is such a great video and thank you so much for taking the time to show everybody this. Having the hull cut in half really is such a better way to describe everything. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Both jobs, elbow deep! That fuel pump job doesn’t seem so bad with the top off, what does Kawasaki give you in the labor guide for it?

@KrisD007 2 years ago

How long did it take to get the pump shoe out? in real time?

@curtisrose7442 7 months ago

Thanks so much for making this video! How the F could anyone figure out replacing a fuel filter blind? Thanks again! Priceless knowledge. Thanks for sharing.

Before removing fuel lines, loosen the gas cap to relieve fuel tank pressure.
If this step is skipped, there will likely be fuel pouring out of the open end of your fuel line.
I always start by loosening fuel cap to relieve pressure, then remove fuel line at fuel rail. Easier to catch remaining fuel with pig mat, and you get a feel for how the red clip works (DON'T BREAK IT!!)

After 7 years of use there was absolutely nothing in my tank, not a spec of debris, it makes me wonder how bad US gas is or how careless many people are with their gassing practices.
