fuel low

[alex1]

Hi,
I winterized ski with about 15 liter of fuel ... now after 10 months it gives fuel low indicator and zero marks on the fuel indicator .... any suggestion .... no leakage is found ... should i fill it and that is all ... is it normal to lose 15 liters during winter?

Fuel sender has something wrong with it if you know there is fuel in the tank but the gauge reads low.

I inspected the tank and it seems that the 15 liters are gone!!! ... will add fuel tomorrow to check the fuel sender ... found very useful threads on how to fix fuel senders .... But again ... if the sender turns to be ok, is it normal to lose about 15 liters during winter?

NO - it is NOT normal at all. Where the hell DID the fuel go? Did someone steal your fuel? (I know it's gone up in price a lot, but yeeesh!:ack

I've dealt with skis that sat around for YEARS and still had most of the gas inside (oil - well, that's another matter:toetap05.

Fuel hoses show no obvious leaks?
Tank doesn't have any seam splits?
Fuel cap gasket is in good condition?
Check valves work correctly (flow one way, but not the other)

Useful diagram to walk through the fuel system as you search for possible sources of the leak.

I added gas but the
1. fuel level display shows nothing --- all the time
2. warning light and fuel low sign is on and off- when i remove lanyard and re-connect it ... sometimes no warning light or fuel low sign appears but fuel level display shows nothing
3. Buzzer code is off

Unfortunately, in GTX Di model the fuel sensor is integrated with fuel pump ... is it possible to replace it without the pump? is it an easy procedure?
What if i ignored the low sign and used the ski with "fuel low" light on ... what happens if for example engine overheat.. will the information center show engine over heat or be masked with fuel low
