Fuel-Water Separator Drain Water And Sediment

5.2 Fuel-Water Separator

Draining

Drain water and sediment from the fuel-water separator daily.
Shut down the engine. Open the drain valve. Turn the valve counterclockwise four full turns until the valve drops by one notch. Drain water and sediment from the fuel-water separator until clean fuel is visible.
Note: Do not over-tighten the valve. Over-tightening can damage the threads.
Lift the valve up and turn it clockwise to close the drain valve.
Note: If more than 2 ounces of fluid is drained, refill the filter to help prevent hard starting.
