(See Bleeding fuel system on page 121.)
IMPORTANT :
• When the fuel filter bowl has been removed,
fuel stops flowing from the fuel tank. If the
fuel tank is almost full, however, the fuel will
flow back from the fuel return pipe to the
fuel filter. Before checking, make sure the
fuel tank is less than half-full.
• If dust, dirt or water enters the fuel system,
the fuel pump and injection nozzles are
subject to premature wear. To prevent this,
clean the fuel filter bowl and element
periodically.
