I had an old formula mx that had something like that in the tank. It was apperantly to catch water????

dry gas??? never heard of it..... info?

"The other piece is your fuel line and filter lol."

where did that come from?
do i need it installed?
would that make it hard to start?
and how do i re-install the fue line/filter that was attached to the gas cap/gauge???? where does it go? inside the tank somewhere?

thanks again..

"Dry Gas" is the brand name, it's a fuel line anti-freeze. It seperates the water from the gas so the water doesn't get into your system. It comes in a little bottle like this, available at pretty much any gas station. HIGHLY recommended.

Yes you need that fuel line connected it connects to a union that goes through the front of the gas tank, if you aren't exactly sure what you are doing i would get a service manual or bring it to a dealer it only will take a couple of minutes but you have to drain all the gas then take out the airbox, then pull the fuel line out of the tank. If that piece of line isn't installed if your going up a hill without to much gas in the tank the sleds gonna die out cause the fuel gonna move away from the fuel line. good luck

oh, and my airbox comes out without any tools.
just unhook the rubber holder strap and pull out... does that sound right or should there be something else keeping it in there?

My 99 is the same way. Just pops right out.
