How to Replace a Fuel Selector Switch on a Sea-Doo

Some Sea-Doo personal watercraft are equipped with a second, smaller fuel tank. These fuel tanks come in handy if you happen to run out of fuel while on the open water. The flow between these two fuel tanks is controlled by a switch known as the fuel selector switch. The fuel selector switch is a type of toggle switch connected to a flapper inside the fuel system (similar in some respects to a toilet bowl flapper). When the operator flips the switch, the flapper moves to divert fuel inside the secondary tank directly into the Sea-Doo's fuel lines.
