explosion, resulting in death or serious injury. Before draining fuel,
make sure to discharge static electricity by touching the vehicle

than the installation surface of the fuel pump, fuel leakage could
occur. If the fuel gauge indicates a fuel level of 3/4 or more, perform
the following Steps 3 - 8 to drain 10-15 L {2.7-3.9 US gal, 2.2-3.2 Imp
