POOR DESIGN OF FUEL TANK/FUEL PUMP CONNECTION WILL CAUSE FUEL LEAK, ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. CONSEQUENCE - POSSIBLE FUEL FIRE, EXPLOSION! FUEL TANK HAS BRASS INSERTS IN BLIND HOLES TO ACCOMMODATE FASTENING OF FUEL PUMP WITH O-RING SEAL BETWEEN FUEL PUMP AND FUEL TANK. GOOD IDEA BUT VERY BAD AND DANGEROUS DESIGN. THESE BRASS INSERTS WILL LOOSEN IN BLIND HOLE OF FUEL TANK AND CAUSE A LEAK DUE TO LACK OF COMPRESSION OF O-RING. DON'T KNOW EXACT REASON FOR LOOSENING, POSSIBLY EXPANSION/CONTRACTION FROM TEMPERATURE CHANGES, LOW TO HIGH ELEVATION CHANGES OR JUST PLAIN OLD VIBRATION AND FATIGUE. WHATEVER THE CAUSE, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE AND HEALTH, NOT TO MENTION MONETARY LOSS DUE TO PROPERTY DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION OF VEHICLE. I ASKED A LOCAL POLARIS DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND ALL THEY WANTED TO DO WAS SELL ME A NEW FUEL TANK/FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY, POLARIS INDUSTRIES ANSWER/SOLUTION WASN'T ANY BETTER. POLARIS INDUSTRIES NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND OFFER A RECALL/REPAIR OF THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. SHOULDN'T TRY TO DECEIVE PEOPLE OR PISS OFF OLD PEOPLE WHO HAVE TIME ON THEIR HANDS TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH.
