positioned higher than the fuel level in
the fuel tank, water may not drip out
when the fuel filter / water separator

fuel filter / water separator 2-3 turns
counterclockwise.
Be sure to tighten the air vent screw
after the water has drained out.

other governmental agencies for the
proper disposal of hazardous
materials such as engine oil, diesel
fuel and engine coolant. Consult the
local authorities or reclamation facility.

materials irresponsibly by dumping
them into a sewer, on the ground, or
into ground water or waterways.
