    2016 FX 20 fuel problem can't solve

    Two fuel tanks. Ports side works fine. Runs great.

    Switch to starboard and the bug dies. Tried
    pumping fuel into a gas can with the primer bulb
    but the same. Starboard tank will not give up fuel
    pulled vent hose at the charcoal canister
    and did find any fuel

    cant see a kink in the lines either
    6 hours to the dealer so hopping for some ideas??

    I JUST HAD TO REPLACE MY VALVE, WOULD NOT RUN ON DUAL SETTING. HAD TO MANUALLY SWITCH TANKS. WORKS FINE NOW. AFTER LOOKING AT THE OLD VALVE AFTER TAKING IT OUT, LOOKED LIKE IT WAS WORKING FINE BUT I DONT KNOW WHY. THE NEW ONE WORKS GREAT.

    Had the same problem with my 2016 FX20LE, turned out that skeeter hooked up the fuel lines wrong at the fuel/water separator. At least that is what the dealership told me. If you get a chance post a picture of the fuel lines at the separator and I will compare them to mine.

    Have you tried taking your gas cap off? Make sure there isn't a vaccumm on it.

    Dealer fixed it. Seems the hoses were misrouted from the factory. No way the starboard tank could provide fuel. Took about an hour to fix it but mine was a 12 hour round trip. Sux to be 250 miles from the dealer. But im good to go this weekend now.

    Thanks for all the responses
