Fuel Line Service on the 2016 Can-Am Renegade 570

The 2016 Renegade 570 brought the single cylinder Rotax 570 into the sport quad lineup, and like every Renegade it feeds that engine through electronic fuel injection. That single fact reshapes the fuel line job. There is no petcock beneath the tank, the pump lives inside the tank itself, and the supply hose stays pressurized whenever the key is on and for some time after you shut down. Handle it accordingly and the repair is genuinely simple.

Pressure, Pumps, and No Fuel Valve

On an older carbureted quad you would close a valve, drain the float bowl, and pull the hose with barely a drop spilled. The 570 offers none of those conveniences. Its electric pump pressurizes the line to the throttle body the instant the ignition comes alive, and that pressure does not simply bleed away on its own. You will find either barbed fittings secured with clamps or self locking quick connect couplers depending on the location in the run, and the fuel filter is built into the in-tank pump module rather than sitting inline where you can service it separately.

What Ages a Fuel Hose

Fuel line rubber contains plasticizers that keep it flexible, and those compounds slowly escape over years of heat, air, and fuel exposure. As they go, the hose grows firm and then brittle, and it loses the ability to absorb the vibration that comes with sport riding. Heat cycling off the Rotax then works surface checking into genuine cracks, usually starting at bends and at the fitting ends.

Environment matters. Machines kept in dry, low humidity regions harden faster because moisture is continuously drawn out of the hose wall. Ethanol blended gasoline attacks from the other side, drawing water into the fuel and breaking down the inner liner into a soft layer that sheds particles toward the injector. A 570 that sat a season with stale E10 in the line can be deteriorating inside with nothing visible outside, so the calendar deserves as much weight as your eyes.

The Symptoms Riders Actually Notice

Look for the following before a hose strands you:

  • Gasoline puddled on the skid plate or spotted on the floor after the quad has been sitting
  • A fuel odor near the tank that persists, strongest immediately after shutdown
  • Fine cracking, crazing, or a chalky bloom along the hose, particularly at tight radii
  • A hardened section that stays compressed rather than springing back when pinched
  • Bogging under load, a lean stumble on hard throttle, or the engine acting fuel starved
  • A ring of caked dirt at a fitting, which is what a slow seep leaves behind

Because the system runs pressurized, a pinhole can atomize fuel into vapor before a drop reaches the ground. A strong smell with a dry floor is still worth chasing.

Tools, Parts, and Ventilation

Set out gloves, a lidded fuel container, replacement hose rated for injection pressure and matched to the original inside diameter, a clamp kit, line clamping pliers to stand in for the missing fuel valve, a quick disconnect release tool if needed, a razor knife, sockets for the seat and plastics, and rags. Resist the temptation to use general purpose carburetor tubing — it is not designed for injection pressure and will weep or swell.

Handle the fuel with real care. Gasoline vapor is heavier than air and pools at floor level where pilot lights and spark sources live, so open the garage door all the way or work outside. Keep the container sealed between pours and disconnect the battery before any fitting is opened, so the pump cannot run while the system is apart.

Removing the Old Hose

Begin by relieving pressure. Pull the fuel pump fuse or relay, crank the engine until it dies, then key off and disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the seat and side plastics to expose the tank, and trace the hose all the way to the throttle body so you know each clip it passes through.

Slide a catch pan into position and drape a rag over the first fitting you open, because a bled line still holds fuel. Move each clamp well back before disturbing the hose, then twist the end gently to break the varnish bond rather than pulling hard. Quick connect couplers release when both tabs are pressed squarely and the fitting is drawn straight off; levering sideways cracks the collar. Any end that will not release can be slit lengthwise and peeled from the barb.

Take photos of the routing. The 570 is a 4x4 machine, so its line threads past front differential hardware and additional frame structure that a two wheel drive quad does not have, and reinstalling it correctly through those clearance points is far easier with a reference.

Fitting the New Line

Cut the replacement to match the original exactly, since surplus length will chafe against the frame or crowd the steering. Slide each end fully onto its barb until it bottoms against the shoulder, and assemble dry. No grease, no oil, no silicone spray on the fittings – any lubricant film gives pressurized fuel a path to escape past the seal. If the hose fights you, soften the end in hot water for half a minute.

Place fresh clamps just behind the raised bead on each fitting and tighten them evenly. Where the tank connection is a self locking quick connect, push it together until you hear a click and then tug firmly to confirm the latch engaged; that style needs no clamp at all. Return the hose to every original clip and keep it well clear of the driveline and hot exhaust.

Verifying the Repair

Refit the fuse, Reconnect the battery, then cycle the key on and off five or six times without cranking. Each cycle runs the pump and pressurizes the line while everything is still dry, giving you the clearest possible view of both joints. Wipe them clean, then look and run a fingertip around each connection. Start the engine, idle it for several minutes, and inspect one final time before the bodywork goes back on.

Remember that a new hose does nothing for a restricted filter, and on this Renegade the filter is part of the in-tank pump assembly rather than an inline element. If the 570 still feels short on fuel after a leak free installation, that module is the next place to look.
