The fuel tank of a 2006 Polaris Fusion 600 can be removed by first allowing the engine and exhaust to cool down completely. Then, the fuel line at the fuel rail can be disconnected, followed by removing the seat and detaching the fuel vent line at the rear of the tank. For models with an EVAP system, the EVAP vent line, located above the EVAP canister on the right side of the fuel tank, should also be removed. Next, the fuel tank fastener can be removed, and the rear of the tank can be lifted and pulled rearward to complete the removal process. It is important to note that Polaris had issued a safety recall for certain 2006 Fusion models due to potential cracks in the fuel tank filler neck, which could lead to fuel leakage and potential fire hazards.

Unplug the electrical connector from the fuel pump
To remove the fuel tank from a 2006 Polaris Fusion 600, you must first allow the engine and exhaust to cool completely before disconnecting the fuel line or removing the tank. Once this is done, follow these steps:
- Remove the console by unscrewing the fastener at the back of the console.
- With the fastener removed, lift the rear of the console enough to clear the fuel cap and push forward to release the front mount from the keyway. Lift the console up and out, away from the fuel tank, to complete removal.
- Do not use anything other than your fingers to remove the quick connection. The use of tools can damage the connection. Remove the fuel quick connect.
- Unplug the electrical connector from the fuel pump.
- Unplug the electrical connector from the fuel cap, and remove the electrical harness.
- Remove the left-hand v-cover by removing its fasteners.
It is important to note that, when removing the fuel tank, you should only use your fingers to remove the quick connection. Using tools can damage the connection.
Firstly, locate the electrical connector. It is usually attached to the fuel pump, which is typically located near the fuel tank or the engine. The connector may be secured with a clip or a lock to prevent accidental unplugging. Gently release this securing mechanism before attempting to unplug the connector. Ensure that the engine is turned off and that there is no risk of the fuel pump activating while you are working. This will help prevent any accidental fuel discharge or spraying. Once located, grasp the connector firmly but gently. Some connectors may have a release latch or button that needs to be depressed to unplug the connector. If present, gently press this latch or button while pulling the connector away from the fuel pump. If there is no release mechanism, carefully wiggle the connector back and forth while gently pulling it away from the fuel pump until it comes unplugged. Be cautious not to pull too forcefully, as this could damage the connector or the fuel pump.
