disconnect the battery. Drain the fuel system completely. Use an
approved container to collect and store fuel. Wipe up any spillage
immediately. Material used to contain spillage must be disposed
of in an approved receptacle. Any fuel system service must be
performed in a well‑ventilated area. Inspect any completed service
work for sign of fuel leakage.
FUEL LINE INSPECTION
Visually inspect the fuel line and primer bulb for cracks, swelling,
leaks, hardness, or other signs of deterioration or damage. If any
of these conditions are found, the fuel line or primer bulb must be
replaced.
