Disconnect the fuel tank hose
assembly connector from the fuel
tank (p. ).
Loosen the vapor separator drain
screw.
Release the drain tube from its
clamp along the high pressure fuel
hose and set the end of the tube
toward the outside of the engine
undercase. Place an approved
gasoline container below the end

You can avoid fuel deterioration
problems by draining the fuel tank
and vapor separator. Before draining
and checking the fuel system, check
the fuel filter for contamination and/
or water accumulation. The fuel filter
must be free of any contamination
before proceeding (p. ). Draining
the vapor separator will not drain the
fuel filter bowl.
