Pt.2 2016 Polaris Ranger EFI Fuel Pump Troubleshooting And Repair For Under 30 Dollars

I see a lot of fuel pump failures in my shop, and the OEM replacements can be very expensive. Save yourself big bucks and fix it yourself! This procedure applies to almost every motorcycle, ATV and UTV that uses a fuel tank mounted pump system.
Thanks for watchin', have a goodun'!

Ive watched a LOT of how-to videos before, you do a very very good job with this D-Ray. Straight to the point, excellent video shots, excellent dialog, no unrelated rambling nonsense and BS. Well done, sir.

[@nosmr2]

Great video, no unnecessary talking, much appreciated.

[@rodgerlogan]

I used your video a few years ago to service the fuel pump on my 2009 Ranger 700XP. It's time to do it again. And, fortunately, I found your video again. Hands down, one of the very best instructional videos I have ever watched. BTW, bought my Ranger new in 2009 and it has over 12000 miles on it. I wore all 42 suspension bushings down to bare metal and replaced them all last winter. Thank you for your help!

[@Girardot1980]

Great video! Thank you sir. My dealer wanted $800 to replace my fuel pump on my 2013 sportsman 850. No thanks. Great camera work and easy to follow steps and explanation. Thank you again.

[@bglinke]

One of the best repair instructional repair videos I have ever seen. Great instructions and perfect video! Thanks

[@rodneyetownsend]

Appreciate the video. Did the fuel pump rebuild today and changed out the spark plugs. Old girl runs better than she has in two years.

[@mighty_Buttercup]

This was so incredibly helpful. My dad was excellent at repairing absolutely anything but he passed away in October of last year and my sister and I are trying to repair the Ranger for my mom. It keeps shutting off and we hope we have the problem narrowed down to the fuel pump. Again, thank you for such clear instructions.

[@garyclagett1848]

D-Ray this was a very, very good video. Great close ups and excellent explanation as you perform the repair. This is a good DIY repair that I am fully capable of doing. My Polaris dealer quoted me $520 to replace the fuel pump in my Razor, and our unit only has 1200 miles on it! Your tips on putting a little grease on the o-ring, and on the locking clip for the fuel filter, great tip! You are the best UTV mechanic I have discovered online, thanks sooo much for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@adventurekevin9409]

Thanks for the awesome vid. About to replace the pump on my sons 850 Sportsman. Dealer wanted $800 to fix. Nope! Ordered the pump from Amazon for $100 and with the help of this video we’ll soon be up and running. Thanks again

[@erikortiz7688]

Sir, I own a UTV rental business and you make the best videos to work on this UTVs out there. You deserve all my likes and my bell notification on for you ! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@duncanvincent9106]

Very clear and useful. Grateful for no annoying music in the background too! Thanks!

[@thegreaseboys3263]

Always good to see a new video by you I know the videos are few and far between nowadays because you have videos for almost anything related to an ATV and have covered most likely issues.

[@kurtkelderman4420]

D-Ray, I swamped (really swamped!!!) my 18 Ranger 900 XP like a knucklehead (not snorkeled) and spent a week wrenching, draining, and praying I could revive her. I got her started, no hydrolock and no knocks or smoke. I wiped the sweat away but my last obstacle was the damage from water and mud in the fuel tank. I pert near mashed the buy button on a whole new fuel assembly ($289) when my boy showed me your video. Convinced this will solve the mess. Great video bubba, thanks!

[@Victor-ky6ct]

Hey mate this video help me out heaps, saved me at least $200 for a rather simple fix. Excellent step by step explanation, cheers.

[@percyblok6014]

6/2021. My 2019 Polaris Ranger 570 Full Size was idling fine as I was topping off some livestock water. My Ranger NEVER had any idle issues, NONE. Then, all of a sudden it just sputtered out and died. I'm in Florida and our dry season is INCREDIBLY DUSTY. I pulled the fuel pump and the filter looked like a used tea bag. Watched this video and just ordered new filters and the pump kit off eBay. Replaced spark plug and air filters as well. Just under $100 in materials and about two hours of labor and clean up. The Ranger is back up and running, ready for farm chores again. Thank you so much for this video. Saved a ton of cash and A LOT LESS WALKING. If your machine is running well then just dies and you've never replace the fuel filter, this is most likely the issue. Adding fuel filter change once per year to yearly maintenance list now. New fuel pump and filter kit. Less than $30 on eBay and you're good to go!

[@RonaldHambrick]

And another perfect repair by Donald "The Wizard" Smith. Your detail in the video is unmatched.

[@trikerjon]

Great video, step by step instructions are excellent 👍

[@rickcunningham3702]

Thanks very much- I have a 2016 Ranger ETX that just started having symptoms while in the woods today. I'm not a mechanic at all, so this is just what I need.

[@raysjake]

Did mine today, it's as easy as he makes it look, just be sure you have a soldering iron handy. And that retainer ring on the fuel filter, try to have one of those little hook tools like he used, trust me on this.

[@ronniesciortino7587]

Exceptional! Very well done. Your video makes it a breeze for anyone to perform this repair.

[@kennethcallahan7410]

Excellent video, West Plains, Mo here. Mine was running and just quit, figured maybe bad gas, drained and refilled and won't run unless ether sprayed on air filter, which is new. Believe either my pump or filter on tank. My set up is exactly like yours. Thanks so much, maybe we will all thaw out after the snow and cold! Stay warm!

[@75mikker]

You are a great educator. Thank you for the service you provide to all of us. If I am ever in your area a visit to shake your hand is definitely in order.

[@kvlofts]

Super nice video, like the fact that you made sure that everything was clean before disassembling.

[@19chevelle72]

Replaced my fuel pump on my 2016 570 Sportsman. You helped a lot, thank you!

[@bernbflying]

Very comprehensive explanation and demonstration.

[@clintlayes9047]

Another great video. Thanks for doing these. They're all fun to watch.

[@johnl.6738]

With your detailed help this ole yankee was able to get his rig moving again. Can't tell you thanks enough for the quality of the video and teaching. Keep putting out the videos. Those of us that don't do much in the way of mechanics need all the help we can get. Thanks again

[@im2yys4u81]

Thanks! Never worked on a Polaris before, but thanks to this video I can handle the one I'm about to work on. Tennessee over here.

[@dchearnjr]

Good job D Ray. No extra verbage or rambling. Great, understandable audio with great video

[@JohnLawson383]

That's a great video- very clear and great for anticipating the alignment issues thanks.

[@highwaterkennels4674]

Yep. Very clear directions man. We appreciate the help

[@jamesdavid1087]

Great job. This is how a diy video should be done!

[@davidjones838]

Excellent video. What great filming and close ups that you could visibly see ! That's how ta do it. Thank you.

[@armedfarm3429]

Good video, I got my fuel pump from E-bay complete for $50,00, half an hour & it's in & works great,

[@deananderson7157]

D-Ray! Great video, thanks for saving me some bucks. Was down to 20 psi - 60 after the change. Appreciate it! Runs great!

[@919jbird]

man, great job. Saved the day with trying to figure out how to get er' done. It was a real head scratcher, but thanks to your video, it was an easy install. Atta boy!

[@tonyhearn1744]

YOU ARE AN AMAZING INSTRUCTOR SIR!!!! OUTSTANDING JOB

[@drtosha787]

Very informative, changed pump on my Ace 325 following your video, tnx!

[@lakeywilder7144]

Having same issue with 2018 Ranger 1000 thanks for video and information

[@johno359]

This video saved me big bucks! Just changed the fuel pump on a 2015 Polaris RZR 900S for $27.00. I did have to buy a tool to remove the ring on the fuel tank that holds the pump housing in place because it was super tight and the RZR doesn't provide much room to get your hands around it. This is a very professional video by a guy who really knows his stuff! Thank you!

[@johnnyferreira929]

John O can you tell where you found the part? Thank you

[@roberthughes2687]

Guys have used the plier type oil filter tool to grab it and turn it. You might try that next time

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

New follower here. That was one outstanding video. I’m going through this same repair as we speak. Just waiting on my parts. I have total confidence that I can do the repair now. Awesome stuff man. Look forward to your future videos.

[@jadams3427]

Perfect presentation ! Well done, and thanks !

[@gigi-ms5kt]

Super job easy to follow each step .

[@XNGH8Poh]

Thank you Sir, best instructional video out there!

[@mitchs.2779]

Mighty fine job! Mighty fine!

[@jamesrice5550]

Great video ,thanks for the help,didnt know how to get that fuel float sender off there. Big help buddy. God bless you.

[@jeffclaus4422]

Great vid! Please do more!

[@mrmojoinco]

Well done video, love the accent and some of the terminology put a smile on my face. Definitely helped out my project today and I can’t thank you enough

[@randyludwig8812]

Great video. Nice close up view and in detail instructions.

[@benjaminbonner6773]

Good video, very detailed. About to order my new fuel pump, this will make it go a lot smoother!

[@michaelrensel9256]

Man if I could shake your hand ! Thank you .. saved me a ton of money .

[@lynmarkuson555]

10 30 23 Absolutely a top notch video by someone who knows what they are doing. I also watched the valkyrie 6 carb video and did mine. You are super at explaining and your video is top notch notch.

[@michaelmayhew8088]

Great video! My Sportsman 500 EFI is doing the exact same thing you described. I've changed the plug, fuel filter, and airbox filter to no change. I'm going to test the pressure from the pump and go from there but I'm guessing that is the culprit. Unfortunately, I have to take off the entire front plastic to get to my tank!Thanks again for the information.

[@fotomotoxxiii]

I just got the same pump in mail. Thank you for detailed video!!

[@larrykingrey5647]

D-Ray very good presentation. Couldn’t have been better. Here in East Tx we speak the same language. Well done my man.

[@tomscott4723]

Exactly what I needed, Thanks!

[@ezmirza]

Excellent video nice job 👍 entire video was to the point, nice camera orientation very clear to see how to do it. In last excellent tip to put Grease on the washer will stick something I learned hats off👌.

[@jeffwebster7911]

Awesome job. Learned a lot. Trying to figure out why mine starts hard!!

[@everettewhite7093]

Another excellent how to video! D Ray might be a better video producer than he is a mechanic. Thank you sir.

[@scottnewcomb4475]

Excellent Video. Thank you sir!

[@davidhowerton3434]

Very helpful video. Thank you.

[@07jdom]

Very helpful. Many thanks.

[@bryansmith7765]

Also nice to see you make it affordable for the customer. Most would of just told the customer $700 or $800 bucks for the new tank instead of making an effort to rebuild what was there. Great job!

[@OMRS1]

$700???? They’re a like $150 new on Amazon

[@bendean9667]

Excellent video!! Many Thanks

[@johniskierka177]

I think you just teached an Old Dog, New Tricks Thank You!!

[@mikeyj3439]

Good work sir.

[@MrChuckmason]

Outstanding video sir!

[@jeremyharkins6583]

Great Video! Thanks for the explanation and the tricks.

[@forresthigg]

Excellent content.

[@Gogec6666]

Thanks, just do it by your instructions 👍

[@Mark-fu4ml]

Superb video. I will second the opinion on camera detail and more so on your play by play announcing describing how things were done. Your video s very professional but not so technical I couldn’t follow you. Two thumbs up! I was about to take my machine shop and drop several hundred dollars. I appreciate the video.

[@screamindemon811]

I can see how popular this method will be for guys searching for an answer to a similar issue like this and trying not to get gouged for 700.00. Wouldn't be suprised if some unscrupulous shop used this method but charge guys 400 or 500 bucks to fix the issue but use a kit similar to this. That's one thing I like about you and yor videos DRay your honest and your work is done right the first time, and your not out to take a fella and his wallet for a ride, no wonder your so busy at your shop

[@joanderson5508]

Did the temperature light come on too? That’s what mine is doing. It will run, when in idle I just shuts down. It will usually start right back up. Any suggestions?

[@brentolsen8263]

Great video! Excellent!

[@dudleydorite7678]

Excellent advice

[@user-lx7ii2fc1f]

Very informative. Thanks

[@innervisionmedia]

Awesome video. I know its old but damn this saved me some time and $. Be sure to check your spark plug as well if you had a bad fuel pump. I still had idle issues after the pump replacement. My plug was toast. All is well now!

[@gloriaking1784]

Great video. Thanks!!

[@sherylkitzman2317]

Thank you, This is exactly the info. I needed.

[@jamesbanicki657]

[@leebrooks6464]

Thanks for the video, my dad was from the Montrose area, y’all talk funny 😄

[@raysjake]

Thanks for this video! I just bought a 2019 Polaris XP 900 Crew. It just has 3000 miles on the OD. But it started cutting out and stopping. You could wait a few min and it would crank and run for a little while. I told my wife when it started it was acting like a fuel filter issue. So O did some checking and came across your Vid. It helped a lot, but I can say this all Kits are not created equal and all year pump assy's are not the same. I had to disassemble my pump assembly a little farther because the fuel sender assembly was a little different and I had to pull the top and the 2 sliding rods out to remove it before I could pull the to pump halves apart which ment I had to remove the fuel hose but guess what they gave me another in the kit, but superman could not have got that hose to fit over the nipples. so I had to go buy a piece of fuel line which as you know is tricky because a rubber hose does not replicate a plastic accordion hose so you have to get the length just right for the spring tension of the pump. But hey it worked. Thanks for the video.

[@919jbird]

I had to pull on plastic part where the two rods go through, it is a tight fit with the hose being max'd out to the limit, but it came off. I was reluctant at first to try it, but that option looked better than replacing the hose, and it worked. Just go slow with the process. 2020 Ranger 570

[@huskers2b1]

Thanks for an excellent instrctional video!

[@edcan619can4]

Excellent video you explained how to step by step very easy to understand and I like the way you work on clean Parts organized great video shots clear sound . Again great job ! I will be watching your vids and subscribing.

[@freddysutphin8188]

Very good. Really helpful

[@c1d2e]

Don’t even have a Ranger but had to watch, great vid!

[@draywanda]

Thanks!

[@bruceliem1888]

Thank you !

[@KarasCyborg]

Use this: Orion Motor Tech Master Fuel Injection Pressure Tester on Amazon, it has the fittings that you can pressure test your pump. It's got that plastic end, plus the gauge has the release valve. I just tested mine. Seems like it would get up to 55 psi then slowly seep back down to 45 psi, but when it was running it would be over 50 psi and the indicator would swing wildly.

[@armstronglance]

Thanks for the video!! My fuel pump just failed.

[@Toner-N1SWT]

Great video! Thank you

[@roc31539]

Super info!!!

Great video. Thanks

[@danschumann1760]

Thank you for the info, well done video

[@foth686]

Great video I did my Sportsman 570 2016 today 70 hours on it. Shame Polaris shame - Bosch Made in China pump . Anyway watch that little green O ring its a pain in ass to get seated properly and you wont get pressure unless it right up inside. I used grease but ended up pushing it in first then seating the housing into it. Hope this saves someone a few minutes
