DRAINING WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTER
Check the fuel filter for water accumulation or sediment. If water is in the fuel,
drain the water. If the filter appears to be contaminated, remove and replace.
1. Read Fuel System Precautions, preceding.
2. Inspect the water‑separating fuel filter. If water is present, the red ring
inside the filter assembly should float at the water level.
3. Pull the filter assembly—including the rubber mount—off of the mounting
bracket on the engine, and swing the assembly over the edge of the
engine.
4. Loosen the drain valve until liquid flows out of the bottom. Empty the filter
bowl's contents into an approved container. To protect the environment,
immediately clean up spilled fluids and dispose according to local laws
and regulations.
NOTE: A drain hose can be temporarily installed onto the center drain port of
the drain fitting to assist emptying the contents into an approved container.
