Fuel in the water

[jdemers]

I have a 2013 RZR. When we wakesurfing, as the boat idle while switching riders, there is always a slick of gas in the water around the platform.
Any ideas what is causing this?

Could be the TAPS system leaking. Are you sure its fuel? If its fuel, it could be a fuel injector that is grounded out and firing all the time.

I noticed a couple of times when I had my surf set up filled on the starboard side, gas would purge from the tank vent. It usually only happened when I had the gas tank completely full. That may be your issue. I would also assume if you just filled up the vent hose will accumulate some gas and it doesn't take much gas/oil to make a huge sheen on the water

Yep, I've seen this from the fuel vent with a full tank. Still incredibly annoying that they put the fuel vent back so far on the boat, and BELOW THE FILL TUBE (?!?!). My previous boat had its tank vent forward of and above the fill tube, which meant no chance for overflow leaking during tank fills and no bubbling over into the lake. The point of the vent is to release excess vapor pressure, and having it forward doesn't impair that function. No idea why something that worked so well got changed, you'd think the entire industry would follow a good example.

Recent investigations on my 2013 revealed that the vent is internally tubed within the gas tank to the top of the front of the tank.
