Z-Force Fuel Tank Gromment

[OldMachinist]

Just one more little note before I go outside today. If you have a Z-Force with the black rubber gromment(part#01000281) where the fuel line goes into the tank be aware that it is prone to failure. There is a new red colored gromment that replaces it. The new part number is 02002253. All the new 2006 models should have the new part but the older models don't and it will fail I know because I went though several of the black ones before they change them to red. No problems since.

Thanks for the heads up, I think mine is black. Where do you get most of your parts, my nearest dealer is about 45 miles away.

I order from http://www.partstree.com/parts/ just enter the part number if you know it it will pop up. If you don't know the number use their diagram parts search and when get the number go back to their site and enter it. Their shipping is pretty cheap and you have your parts faster than if you have to have the dealer order them.

Just checked my 2006, and it has the "red".

Thanks for the information.
