What’s wrong
With degraded fuel and especially after extended storage some snowmobiles may pose a risk of fire due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) inside the fuel tank.

If a rider needs to start their snowmobile they must make sure the fuel tank is full and if it is not then they need to add fresh gasoline to fill the tank. To resolve this concern Polaris has developed a procedure to update the fuel pump assembly.
