The fuel pick-up problem is easy to solve. Run a line into the top of the tank using a flat piece of steel or alum with a tube welded in the center sticking out both ends so you can atatch a hose to it. Let he one end hang in the center of the tank down close to the bottom while the other end hooks to the fuel pump. It looks like jet ski shops have a hose with a filter on the end that we could use. There would be no welding on the tank this way. fasten the same way the sending unit is on top the tank. If you are woried about drilling a hole in the top of the tank. Disconect all the hoses and plug. Fill with diesel (it will not spark and go of like a bomb) drill the tank. drain it, if there is a little diesel residue in the tank when you fill it back up with gas it won't hurt you like water.

Flatbed, have you done this, do you have the 1/2 " hose from filter to pump that I have, I'm contacting companies to see what is available in really flexible tubing. Dropping in from the top sounds good, it will certainly get considered when I get my new tank & I work on this problem for real.

No , i have not done this yet, to busy working on everyone else stuff, I am going to do this as soon as i can. If you drop it in from the top you probably would not have to relocate the fuel pump. I kept the same size hose from the tank to the pump. It is very important to have fuel volume along with fuel preasure with fuel injection because it has a return line.

What do think would happen if we went with a 1/4 inch tygon or ether tubing (it's tough enough not to collapse)?

I ask because that is what I was planning to use inside the tank, I wasn't thinking about supplying the return line volume.

My other idea was to put a pick up line front & rear and have them join at a point below the tank. I think this would work also, but you would want to use the same size tube/hose though out.

You will get away with using 3/8 id hose for the suction line. Going in at both ends of the tank will do you no good. You would be sucking air going up and down the hill because one side would be above the fuel level when you get around a half tank. I really like the idea of going in from the top of the tank with a hose that will move with gravity so it leans toward the back of the tank going up hill, front of the tank going down hill aor toward the side when side hilling. Will be leaving for gordon wells staying at McMillen camp mid friday so i dont know when i can write again. will be trying out the 13.00x15 paddles.

      2017 TW450 Kohler ECH440 runs out of fuel when running wide open.
      By Sammy
      Runs fine just putting around the yard. Get it out on the road and about a half miles it runs out of gas. Let it idle for a few minutes and it will run for another half mile and do it again. Replaced both fuel pumps and filter. Does anyone know if I can get rid of the factory fuel pump?

      Shift cable problem, 2017 Stampede 900, need advice
      By jertex
      I bought a 2017 Stampede 900 last fall that was new, old stock with less than 5 hours on it thinking that I would be getting a relatively trouble free UTV as compared to buying a used Polaris or CanAm, or Honda, etc. It's been a little quirky, but reliable. What I thought was just a minor issue with this model, the difficulty in shifting between R, N, L, H, etc., was just a characteristic of this model is now a big problem. I had to climb two very steep trails to get to the upper meadow of our hunting property, which seemed to stress the UTV more than usual since I was carrying some lumber to work on a platform for a hunting blind, and when I went to shift into park, I felt something give and it would not shift out of low, but it did move up into high gear.  I couldn't get it to shift at all at that point and the shifter felt mushy for lack of a better word. I was able to get it down to the lodge and when I investigated, I discovered that the straight, metal tube portion of the shift cable had bent to almost 90 degrees (see pics). I'm positive that it had already had some deformation that had happened previously and it had the right amount of resistance to bend to the point where it was unusable. 
      I have two questions:
      1. I suspect that there must be some other issues that makes this UTV difficult to shift, and I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if someone could enlighten me on what could cause this to be difficult to shift?
      2. Have any of you had this happen and if so, how difficult is it to replace the shifter cable?
      Any other advice is welcome, this is the first UTV that I've ever owned, so I don't know much about working on these or maintaining them. I'm relatively capable when it comes to working on my own vehicles in general, and I'm not afraid to take things apart and get my hands dirty.
      Thanks in advance for any insight, I'll be traveling most the day so I won't get a chance to look at replies until this evening.

      Utv wont start and broken fuel injection wire
      By Jeff freeman
      I have a Coleman 550.  Was having problems to start with where it would start and then shut off after a couple tries. It would take off and be good. It then got to a point where it would not start at all. I replaced the fuel injection twice the second time I replaced it I noticed a mouse or something had chewed one of the wires that connect the electrical to the fuel injector. . So two-part question first does anybody have a part number for that wire harness?  Second, any other ideas after I fix the wire harness permanently on what could keep it from starting I have gas flow up to the fuel injector.
