Fuel/Water Separator PWC1992-1998 Polaris Personal Watercraft

The fuel/water separator should be checked daily and/or whenever refueling. 1"-2" (2.5-5 cm) of water depth in water trap can cause the engine to run poorly due to restricted fuel flow. If water trap fills quickly, check for water in the fuel tank.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the work area. Be sure the work area is well ventilated. See gasoline handling warnings. Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious injury or death.

1. Visually inspect bowl for water collected at bottom of bowl.

Water trap

NOTE If water is present it will appear as a clear liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
1995 and later water traps include a filter to improve water separation, and a colored float to indicate water level. The maximum travel of the float is to the base of the filter, or approximately one half the depth of the bowl. Empty bowl if float appears to be off the bottom.

Turn fuel valve to "OFF" position before removing bowl.
