Doesn’t work with the Polaris is like burping the doos. Mine doesn’t at least, my old xm sure did though.
I have yet to see mine show over 90%.

Yes I have noticed the same, very hard to get full tank on the -24. I was thinking it was off from calibration. You can go on forever at the end of filling if you are at a gas station, just keeps foaming in the filler hole at the end. Did get mine up to 95% but it took a while...burping helps a bit but not much.
My theory is that after the fuel fire recall the ventilation of the tank does the fule to zip out there if you fill the tank. I have seen this on my -22s after the recall. When I fill my wives -22 it goes much faster to 100%, but when getting into the garage it always are spilling out some overflow from the tank. Never on my -24.

I put a little hole in the filler neck just below what would be the seam where the tank meets the neck to get the air out. done this on my last 2 poo's as well
If you "fill" the sled while it's sitting flat and then elevate the front end (as was mentioned) you can fit about another gallon of fuel in. I always go until I just can't put any more fuel in while it's elevated and my sled registers 100% every time. It is a pain for sure. I never fuel up at a station from the pump. It's always done in my garage before a ride to ensure I get it full!! These boosts burn so much fuel. When it's deep we're all out of fuel BEFORE the end of the day and we carry an extra 3.3 gallons on the tunnel as well.
Doesn't that let gas out as you ride also?
Cut the fuel neck out . Or melt holes in it .

I did what PSI800 did on my Axys and earlier sleds- took a sharp 1/2" chisel tapped w/ a hammer just below the top of the tank line in the filler neck, made a 3 sided box cut then bent the tab outwards(away from filler tube-Now I can fill it right up to the cap-don't fill it this much unless your going to ride cuz fuel can seep out vent tube- I haven't done this to my '24 Matryx yet want to talk to my mechanic to get the scoop on the new tank configuration-But yes 90% is all I can get in it for now.
Sounds like the best option is to fill it while it is on the truck deck ramp.
nope as the hole is in the tank, the hole lets out the trapped air around the filler neck as you fill it up.
Sounds like the best option is to go with 90% filled.

They gotta leave some room for vapors to form otherwise they can’t hit their stop ride quota
The other day I filled mine up; put the cap on, and shook the rear bumper. As can't lift front of sled since it's secured, and I'm not going to mess around with taking the front brace off. I then was able to trickle in another 1/2 gallon to gallon, sled registered full then.
