Draining the Fuel System
You can avoid fuel deterioration
problems by draining the fuel tank
and vapor separator. Before draining
and checking the fuel system, check
the fuel filter for contamination and/
or water accumulation. The fuel filter
must be free of any contamination
before proceeding (p. 87). Draining
the vapor separator will not drain the
fuel filter bowl.

1. Disconnect the fuel hose connector
from the outboard motor (p. 87).
2. Remove the engine cover (p. 76).
3. Release the drain tube from its
clamp along the high pressure fuel
hose and set the end of the tube
toward the outside of the engine
undercase. Place an approved
gasoline container below the end of
the tube, and use a funnel to avoid
spilling gasoline.
4. Loosen the vapor separator drain
screw.
Gasoline is highly flammable
