Fuel is highly flammable and should be
kept away from hot objects and open
flames owing to the risk of fire or explo-
sion. Wipe up any spilt fuel.
•
Keep cigarettes and other sources of heat
away from the vehicle while draining water
from the fuel filter. They are dangerous
because they could set fire to the fuel.
•
Be careful not to injure yourself on the
edges of nearby components while drain-
ing water from the fuel filter.
•
Avoid damaging the fuel filter case, as this
will cause fuel to leak.
•
Do not drain water from the fuel filter
immediately after driving the vehicle. The
fuel filter is extremely hot immediately
after the vehicle has been driven, so you
could get burned. Give the fuel filter time
to cool down before draining water from it.
