Gas Cap

This is the 2 time the sled stopped...both times have been caused by water/Ice in the gas tank.

Were there any updates or recalls on the gas caps on the M series/CF 07-2011??

According to cat, there were no recalls on any sleds in that range. Look under customer care near the bottom right there is a link to recalls 2008 to current.

The gas cap has a rubber seal in it also the way its made ithangs down around the threads and is not prone to having water sitting on top of it . is your tank cracked around the threaded area or something wrong with the fuel guage seal?

No my tank has no cracks..i havent checked the fuel gauge itself...guess i have to dry the tank and fill it again with new fuel and some fuel additive/water absorbing additive.

Should I maybe run the fuel pump in reverse to get rid of all the water?

no don't do that

Siphon the tank, and pour in fresh fuel, and a bottle of HEET.

If you have carbs, drain them. The water will settle in the bottom and cause all kinds of problems. The snow blower did that to me and had me baffled for a while...ran pretty good before it got cold :face-icon-small-con

I'd agree with checking the fuel gage. Much more likely the seal has a crack or something. Check the tank in that area too.
