How to completely drain fuel system
To completely drain the fuel system on a Polaris 2008 Sportsman 800 EFI:
1. Treat the fuel system with Polaris Carbon Clean. If not using a fuel system additive, the fuel tank and fuel lines must be completely drained of gasoline.
2. Ensure the engine is cool before draining, as draining when hot can cause severe burns.
3. Relieve the fuel system pressure before starting any service, as the EFI components are under high pressure.
4. Do not overfill the tank and always leave room for fuel expansion.
5. Follow safety precautions: avoid open flames, sparks, or smoking near the fuel area.
This ensures the fuel system is safely and completely drained.
