When I added my surge tank, I moved the fuel pump up next to the filter and also moved the pressure regulator, I also opened the gauge of the regulator and cleaned the dust out and then sealed it when I put it back together.

The gas tank has 2 outlets at the rear of the tank, if you are headed down a steep hill with just a half tank of gas, the outlets will be above the gas and the fuel pump will promptly be starved for gas and the pressure will drop and the engine will die. The lower the gas level, the less the steepness of the hill required for this to happen. A SURGE tank is a small tank the that is used to feed the fuel pump so this does not happen, mine has a low pressure pump to keep it full and the return from the regulator returns to the surge tank. This is an idea that was borrowed from snow mobiles.

Never checked it....Turned it down and it was fixed lol...Something is not correct cause I wouldn't think you should be able to change how much injectors spray with fuel pressure.... And also the purge tank sounds like a great idea...Gotta look that one up on how yo do that...

The higher the fuel pressure, the higher the volume of fuel that goes to the engine. The injectors are open for a specific time. At higher fuel pressure, more fuel can get thru in that same amount of time. The computer attempts to adjust it based on the O2 sensor output, unless its not hooked up, but it is still limited to how much it can adjust. Most everyone on this forum runs generally from 50 to 60 pounds fuel pressure. I'm not sure that the injectors will run properly at 30 psi. They do have a min and a max pessure they need to run properly. At low pressure, they don't atomize the fuel correctly and at higher pressure, the computer can't control the volume because injector output becomes somewhat earatic at above about 75 psi. You may want to try another fuel gauge. When mine was stock, it wouldn't even run below about 40psi. Kinarfis solution for running out of gas uses a storage reservoir tank, called as surge tank, that is kept always above a specific level so the fuel pump always has a fuel supply. I did the same thing by using a sump in the bottom of my tank. The sump also acts like as a storage reservior or surge tank. The idea is to create a reliable source of fuel when the Tropper is on a slope. There are a variety of ways to correct this issue. Some are more complex then others. I use an accumulator for smoothing out or eliminating surges in my fuel pressure.

I will Have to check mine...Seems like it is running correctly and smells fine...Not to rich..I think I will pull the plugs and see what they are.....

      Greetings All,
      I'm looking for the most effective way to quiet the noise inside the cab. The cab virtually sits atop the 24hp diesel engine. It's very loud and so I'm looking for ways to make inside the cab quieter.

      I'm working with a 2015 MSU-500.  Basic symptoms are it cranks well, but will not fire.  It has spark, and it has fuel spraying out of the injector (and spraying starting fluid into the throttle body and plug hole makes no difference).  It has compression.  I bought it not running, and no other information was available.  It has 775 miles on it and 127 hours.  It looks to be in very good shape.   Previous owner replaced fuel pump, ECU, coil, plug, and the fuse/relay box that mounts on the firewall, then gave up.
      My questions relate to cam/valve timing, considering the symptoms and diagnostics so far.  My thinking was the woodruff key sheared off and the crank spun, making it out of time.  My question is, by the pictures attached does anyone have an opinion as to the cam/valve timing being correct?  In the crankshaft picture you can see a timing mark visible.  In the camshaft picture I have arrows directed towards what I think are timing marks (which appear to be exactly 180 degrees from one another).  However, the long arrow in what appears to be bolt configuration in line with the piston/rod line.  Here is a puzzling note... in the position you see in the pictures... I have valve lash on both the intake and exhaust.  I think it's at TDC, given the visible crank timing mark and valve lash on both valves. 
      Any thoughts ?  Does this appear to be in proper valve time ?  Have I missed anything simple ?  Thanks in advance for your input.

      While driving the MSU 800, it runs good but it lately it will not go over 20 MPH. The side by side will hesitate when it reaches 21 MPH, but it will run good under 20 MPH. What is the issue?

      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      My Axis 500 has been operating properly for almost a year with Zero problems. While I was away my granddaughter & friends were riding & playing in the snow. They went to the gas station to fill the tank & the vehicle would not start afterwards. I BEEN GIVING MULTIPLE STORIES: The ATV will not start. When I turn the key I can hear the fuel pump come on but nothing happens other than that. 
      - NO CLICK - NO OTHER NOISE
      *I CHECKED THE BATTERY 12.43volts
      *I replaced the solenoid inside the battery compartment. 
      Seems the next electrical component in line has battery connections IN & motor connections OUT with 2 other small wires connectedaswell(I do not know the name of this component).
      Can anyone help?
      I can not find an ordered list of electronic components starting at the battery.
      Can anyone help with this?
      Thanks in advance for any help.
