Fuel Tank - Check Level, Fill & Drain
The fuel tank (1) is located on the left side of the RG55.
View the fuel level gauge on the tank (2). If fuel level is
low, remove the fuel cap (3), carefully fill the fuel tank with
gasoline fuel only, and replace cap.
Note: ALWAYS use GASOLINE Fuel.
Fuel FIlter
The fuel filter (4) is located to the left of the fuel tank as
shown. Loosen the hose clamps and pull the fuel line away
from the filter on both ends. Replace the fuel filter (see quick
reference part #s listed in back of manual) Inspect the fuel
lines, to be sure of no cracks or sign of dry-rotting.
Note: Fuel lines should be replaced every year to meet
emissions requirements.
Draining the Fuel Tank
Rayco recommends draining the fuel tank once a year,
especially if the RG55 will be in storage for longer than a
month. To drain the tank, remove the fuel cap (3) to assist in
draining. Place a container under the tank on level ground,
and remove the fuel tank drain plug (5). Once the fuel has
been drained to best of its ability, insert drain plug back in
its location and tighten it securely. Be sure there is no fuel
leaking from drain plug when refilling the tank.
