How to get fuel out of xpdi 2003

[coolantflush]

How can you siphon fuel out, anybody know? do you need a small tube or something? Thanks

You can use one for these. You can get it at harbor freight or I have seen them at Walmart. Just send the one end down the filler neck. Or go old school and put a line down the tank and suck on the line until you see gas then put your "filling" tank below your ski and just let it siphon out.

Thanks, the hose wont go down into the tank, stops about the top of the tank. the manual dont show any kind of screen or anything blocking it? I got a hose down in there before, but can't remember, how. Might have been smaller hose, i had. Is ther anything aftermarket device/filter that one would put in between the tank an hose, for some reason, like by a previoius owner? Maybe their kid thru something in there or something? An i got the shop manual seadoo, an it says take the seat off or tilt it, an then siphon it?

Okay, got the gas out. Strange, nothing blocking it, the lip of the top of the tank going into the hose, was holding up, the hoses i were putting down, cause of the bend, in the filler neck. They were catching on it. I didnt want to jam the hose in encase something was inbetween, like a filter or something. the cap broke off the stem to hold the cap on with the chain. so the chains dangling down, in side the tube instead of connected to the center of the bottom of the gas cap. I am going to clip that off, before it falls into the gas tank after hitting a 100 foot wave, if i can get something down in there to cut if off with. I lifted the seat, opened the hole underneath to get to the gas tank hose clamp an pulled it off an stuck in the syphoning hose, an got the majority out. Thanks for you input. racerxxx.

You can use an old primer bulb from a outboard motor fuel tank to siphon fuel or the oil out of the injector tank.

okay, thanks Rabid. ya, that oils been in there for the three years, so, I think i am gonna take it out also. thats a good idea right? will that oil go bad, sittin in there for 3 years.

Leave the oil, there's nothing wrong with it unless there's water in it.

Okay, thanks. no water in it, just been sitting in there 3yrs. didnt know if would oxidize, break down lube properties........etc..? its expensive, if it doesnt need changed.

As long as it is API-TC full synthetic it’s fine. Wouldn’t hurt to change the oil filter and jet pump oil either though.

 

[coolantflush]

the oil was the seadoo oil, so assuming its synthetic, an changed jet pump oil last year, but no use since changed. an will change the oil filter. i am in the manual in section 10 in fuel system an it looks like it got an inline fuel filter 16 or 6 in diagram or both are filters? I am thinkin 6 is the inline filter an 16, not sure? an the pump in the tank, shows something on the bottom with a cut out view, that looks like a filter. So i am assuming, that thats a in tank filter. i remember reading somewhere a long time ago, seadoo, hid that there was a in the tank filter? is that right?

 

[mikidymac]

You can do a search but the in tank filters can be found at the local auto parts store but I can't remember the numbers. I know some members do it every year because the DI fuel pumps are so expensive.

Airtex FS222, FS242 can purchase at any auto parts store.
Change the big external filter while you are at it. Cut the hose on each end and replace with a Wix33095 metal canister filter. Then change yearly for about 7 bucks.

thanks man, quick question.

is this filter he is talkin about, can that be changed, or did you list it, above, if its on a 2003 xpdi? not the big filter, but that one he's talking about that is degraded. that mystery fuel filter.

 

[jhjesse]

Yep those are the ones.
