Never get stranded on the trail with an unexpected empty tank. The authentic Polaris Long Fuel Gauge Cap (OEM Part #2871442) (frequently cross-referenced with legacy part numbers 2511222 and 2873626) features an integrated, easy-to-read mechanical float gauge shaft designed specifically for deeper fuel tanks.

Available directly through PolarisPartCanada.com, this essential replacement component ships quickly right to your door anywhere in Canada.

Compatibility & Fitment

Precision-engineered by Polaris to fit classic deep-tank ATV and utility configurations:

• Primary Vehicle Compatibility: Fits vintage and classic Polaris ATV models including select Sportsman (350L, 400L, 500, MV7), Xplorer, Scrambler 400, Trail Blazer 250, Trail Boss 330, Magnum 330, ATP 330, and Diesel utility chassis.

• OEM Part Number: 2871442 (Replaces older part numbers 2511222 and 2873626)

• Application: Direct screw-on replacement fuel tank cap with built-in mechanical depth gauge rod.

Note on Fitment: Because various model years utilized different tank depths, always cross-reference your specific machine’s parts diagram or verify your existing cap length to ensure the long gauge rod matches your tank depth prior to ordering.

How It Works & Functional Engineering

The assembly combines a durable threaded outer cap with a weighted internal float indicator rod. As fuel levels rise and fall inside the tank, the float moves the visual indicator up and down inside the clear top lens, allowing you to check your fuel status at a glance without opening the tank.

Performance Benefits

Equipping your machine with a genuine OEM fuel gauge cap delivers immediate practical advantages:

• At-a-Glance Monitoring: Clear top window displays fuel level instantly, preventing unexpected run-outs on long rides.

• Vapor-Tight Seal: Heavy-duty threads and integrated gasket sealing prevent dangerous fuel sloshing, leakage, and evaporation.

• Debris Prevention: Keeps water, dust, and trail mud from contaminating your gasoline.

• Exact OEM Match: Engineered to match the exact thread pitch and depth requirements of legacy Polaris deep-well tanks.

Build Quality & Materials

Manufactured to stringent industrial standards under strict quality control:

• Cap Body: Impact-resistant, high-grade polymer built to withstand harsh chemical exposure, sub-zero temperatures, and direct UV sunlight.

• Lens: Clear, crack-resistant display window that resists yellowing and fogging over time.

• Internal Rod: Corrosion-resistant float arm engineered to maintain buoyancy and structural integrity inside fuel environments.

Installation & Setup Instructions

Replace your old fuel cap in seconds:

1. Remove Old Cap: Unscrew the existing fuel cap counterclockwise from the tank filler neck.

2. Inspect Neck: Check the tank filler opening to ensure the sealing surface is clean and free of dirt or old gasket fragments.

3. Insert & Tighten: Carefully feed the long float rod down into the tank opening and turn the cap clockwise until firmly hand-tightened to engage the seal.

Durability & Canadian Climate Resistance

Built specifically to endure punishing Canadian winter environments—including extreme sub-zero cold storage, freezing precipitation, and intense summer UV rays—this genuine OEM cap resists cracking, fading, and thermal shrinkage season after season.
