SG250 Fuel System
Fuel System
| The fuel system consists of the fuel tank, fuel mounting hardware, fuel hoses, the fuel filter, the fuel petcock, the carburetor, fuel vapor vent lines, and the fuel level sensor and its associated wiring. You will need to remove the fuel tank to gain access to components located immediately underneath the fuel tank. | |
| The fuel filter is located in a white semi-transparent plastic container immediately beneath the fuel petcock. This container unscrews to provide access to the fuel container. Close the fuel petcock before unscrewing the fuel filter container. Warning! Make sure you close the petcock before unscrewing the fuel filter bowl. |
 |
| Unscrew the white plastic bowl to provide access to the fuel filter. Warning! A small amount of fuel may spill when you unscrew the fuel filter container and remove the fuel filter. Make sure no heat, flames, or other ignition sources are present. |
 |
| Remove and replace the fuel filter. If you need replacement fuel filters, please contact CSC at (800) 884-4173. |  |
| To gain access to the components located underneath the fuel tank, you will need to remove the fuel tank. Start by removing the left and right body panels. These are removed by pulling the upper portion of the body panels away from the motorcycle, and then lifting the body panels off. Next, remove the rear seat as outlined previously in the Service Manual. After these items have been accomplished, unbolt the two bolts at the rear of the tank. |  |
| Turn the petcock to the off position. |  |
| Remove the fuel line from the petcock. |  |
| Slide the fuel tank to the rear and tilt it up. |  |
| You will have access to the fuel filter sending unit and the fuel tank vent line beneath the fuel tank. |  |
| If you wish to remove the fuel tank, unplug the fuel tank sending unit wiring harness. |  |
