2006 900 fuel pump in new style tank

Fuel Pump Ratings

You might just compare fuel pump pressure / volume.

Maybe the newer IQ 800 tank and pump would work just fine for a 900.

Might also compare a 600 HO pump.

The issue arrises when you have a 2006.... the system pressure is 8 bar (about 116 psi)... double that of a 2005 at 4 bar (about 58 psi) , or any other year of CFI 2007-up.

While the airtex pump in the 2005/2006/7 was the same... they could be pushed to the 8 bar pressure... but were slightly more likely to fail, at 8-bar, compared to the 05/07 sleds that ran the same pump at half the pressure/amperage.

The 2008 and up featured a completely different PFA (Pump Flange Assembly)... and a Walbro pump that cannot be pushed to 8-bar... not even close.

The tanks also do not fit into the hoop without re-work.

A 2005 900, with the 4-bar pressure, would be a simpler task.

All of the 600 CFI sleds run the Walbro pump except for the 2007... which runs the Airtex.

The 2007 RMK/Dragon tanks have the "RAW" look seat... but this is pretty much the same as a 900 with just a rear seat support rather than the plastic wedge-box.

A 2008-up fuel tank will run the 2008 - 2015 RMK seats but you cant run the 2008-up Walbro pump at 8-bar.

The only work-around that I can think of would be to somehow graft the airtex pump onto the 2008+ PFA Then you would install a dummy plug into the FPR (Fuel Pressure Regulator) hole in the flange of the PFA and then install the 2006 8-bar FPR onto some high pressure hose in the tank...and connect the return line/feet to that...making sure that the feet lay flat on the tank floor front and rear.

The 2005/6/7 RMK's/Dragons mounted the FPR inline on the return hose inside the tank... the 2008+ mounted the FPR directly in the flange of the PFA.


Hope this helps.
