Replacing the Fuel Hose on a 2017 Can-Am Renegade 570

A leaking or hardened fuel line is one of those faults that gets worse quietly, then all at once. On the 2017 Renegade 570, replacement is a straightforward job for anyone with intermediate wrenching experience, provided you account for the fuel system. The Rotax single in this quad is injected rather than carbureted, so an in-tank electric pump keeps the supply hose pressurized, no petcock exists to close, and the first move is always to bleed the system down.

Before Anything Else, Handle the Gasoline Properly

Fuel vapor is the real hazard, and it is heavier than air. It sinks to floor level and drifts toward whatever ignition source is nearby, which in most garages is a water heater or furnace pilot. Open the overhead door completely or push the Renegade outside before you open a fitting. Wear nitrile or rubber gloves, since repeated gasoline contact strips the oils out of skin. Keep your drain container lidded between pours, and disconnect the battery so the fuel pump cannot spin up while a line is open.

The Slow Death of a Fuel Line

Hose failure comes from two directions at once. On the outside, the plasticizers that keep the rubber supple gradually leach out, so the line stiffens and eventually cracks under the ordinary flex of trail riding and the heat cycling off the engine. Riders in dry inland climates see this happen sooner, because low humidity keeps drawing moisture out of the hose wall year after year.

On the inside, ethanol blended pump gas draws water into the fuel and chemically breaks down the liner, leaving a soft, tacky layer that releases debris downstream toward the injector. A 570 that spent months parked with stale fuel in the system can be considerably worse off internally than its outward appearance suggests, which is why age alone is a legitimate reason to replace a hose that still looks acceptable.

Signs Worth Investigating

Give the machine a careful once over while it is cold. A puddle or damp streak of gasoline beneath the tank area after the quad has been parked is the clearest indication. A fuel smell that lingers around the tank, sharpest in the minutes right after shutdown while residual pressure remains, is nearly as telling. On the hose itself, hunt for hairline cracks, a chalky gray surface, and stiffness at bends, then pinch it to compare feel — sound line rebounds, aged line does not.

Performance symptoms round out the diagnosis. Bogging under throttle, a lean stumble as revs climb, or an engine behaving like the tank is nearly empty when it clearly is not all suggest compromised supply. Check every fitting for a ring of caked dust, which builds up wherever fuel has seeped and evaporated repeatedly. On a pressurized system a small leak may vaporize before it drips, so do not dismiss a smell just because the floor is dry.

The Parts and Tools List

  • Injection rated replacement hose in the original inside diameter, not gravity feed carburetor tubing
  • New clamps in the correct sizes, or a clamp kit covering the range
  • Line clamping pliers, which take the place of the fuel valve this model does not have
  • A quick disconnect release tool if your tank fitting uses a locking coupler
  • A sealed metal or approved plastic container for drained fuel
  • Gloves, a sharp razor knife, sockets for the seat and plastics, and plenty of rags

Getting the Old Line Out

Pull the fuel pump fuse or relay and crank the engine briefly until it quits, which vents the pressure trapped in the supply hose. Turn the key off, disconnect the negative battery cable, and remove the seat and side plastics so you can see the tank fitting and follow the hose to the throttle body.

Slide the catch pan underneath and cover each connection with a rag before you break it, since residual fuel will still run out. Work the clamps back along the hose, then twist each end gently to release the varnish bond instead of yanking it straight off. For quick connect couplers, press both locking tabs evenly and pull in line with the barb; a sideways pry cracks plastic that has aged in engine heat. If an end refuses to move, slit the hose lengthwise with the razor and peel it off, which protects the fitting entirely.

Record the routing while the old hose is still in place. This is a 4x4 chassis, so the line runs past front differential hardware and extra frame bracing that a two wheel drive quad does not carry, adding clearance points and clips that are easy to get wrong on reassembly without photos.

Installing the Replacement

Measure the original and cut the new hose to the same length. Extra tubing will rub the frame or interfere with steering travel, and a chafed line puts you back here in a season. Push each end fully onto its barb until it seats against the shoulder, and install it dry. Grease, oil, and silicone all leave a film on the sealing surface that pressurized fuel will find, so keep them away from the fittings entirely. Hot water is the only assembly aid a stubborn hose end needs.

Position new clamps just behind the raised bead and snug them evenly rather than crushing one side. Where the Renegade uses a self locking quick connect, push until it clicks and then pull firmly to prove the latch caught; that joint takes no clamp. Reseat the hose in its original clips, keeping it clear of the front driveline and away from hot exhaust surfaces.

Leak Check and Final Steps

Reinstall the fuse, Reconnect the battery, and cycle the key on and off several times without starting. Each cycle pressurizes the circuit, which is exactly the condition you want for a clean inspection. Wipe both joints dry, then look closely and run a finger around each one. Fire the engine, let it idle for several minutes, and check again as it warms before the plastics go back on.

One last thing about this Renegade: the filter is integrated into the in-tank pump assembly rather than hanging inline on the visible hose, so a fresh line will not resolve a restriction upstream. If delivery still feels weak after a leak free swap, that module is where to continue.
