fuel tank

I remember reading that chunks of silicone from around the fuel pump falls into the tanks and gets into the fuel line, well I think this may have happened to me and causeing my rhino to act up anybody read anything on this and how to fix it completly??


I know I will have to clean out the tank, check the fuel lines, but i'm sure i'll have to figure out a way to re-seal around the pump??? any ideas/links will be helpful

it happened to Marty. he can tell you
all about it....

I had issues on my last ride a combo of things but my gf's dad said he seen a white chunk come out of my fuel line I automatically thought of this silicone issue

That could be your problem. However, I don't own a 660 so I'll keep my mouth shut...

I think what R is tring to say is stock SE shocks, and a new machined sheave will fix it.

I have had small crystal like things in my fuel filter......is that silicone?

Man.....Todd @ Hunterworks had a thread on his site all about this problem, but it isn't there anymore.....I just went and looked.

Them sheaves can also remove warts.

Fuel filters are about $5 at the dealer, get several and carry them with you when riding. Swap it out when the Rhino starts backfiring and such. My 660 would usually get around 250 miles before that happened.

You will get 400 clay after you get some Man Tires....

I think the problem is your lift kit.........u running Progressive shocks too?

Yeah, I have had it in my fuel line and Fuel filter once. Changed out the filter and blew the line and it has been Ok since.

I keep fuel filters in my box in the bed... no progressives and not my aftermarket sheave...


Marty so you just changed the filter and thats it or did you blow out your lines? I was thinking blow out fuel lines, and clean out tank not too sure but I am tired of it shutting off and not idleing correctly

I think your one of your headlights is bad.

I had to take my tank out and clean it out. Blow out all the fuel lines. Check the vent hose 1st could be kinked.

didn't think of that thanks sc rhino ill make sure to check it

My fuel filter plugged off at 600 miles, just as we were getting on top of the mountain at Windrock . When I took it off the white stuff was floating in the filter. I removed the fuel line to the top of the tank and blew it out. Some came out of it too. I put the new filter on and the fuel line back, and have not had a problem since. I have 1400 miles on now. Just changed my fuel filter again, because I thought it was probably due.

Thanks Marty for the more detail explnation I got a few things to check tomorrow...how bad did it lose the "prime"?

We had one do the same thing this weekend on a big hillclimb. It was an 07 660. Clayboy just happened to have a spare fuel filter and he was back up and running in no time. I am sure you will get it whipped into shape Shawn.

It first got down on power and then started spitting an sputtering when attempting to accelerate.
