position and open the engine hood.
2. Connect a hose to the drain cock located
under the regulator.
3. Put an oil pan under the drain cock.
Open the drain cock and let tar drop into
the oil pan.
4. After all tar is removed from the regula-
tor, close the drain cock and disconnect
the hose.
Caution Caution
If tar is adhering to the vehicle, it must be
wiped off completely with a cloth.
