Drain Fuel Separator

the ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Allow the engine and surrounding areas to cool to
room temperature.
3. Place a container under the fuel filter tube and turn
the base of the filter assembly (E, Figure 24) approxi-
mately 1 turn.
4. Allow the filter to drain until all water and debris have
drained out.
5. Turn the base of the filter back to close the fuel filter
valve when finished draining.
