MAINTENANCE C. FUEL TANK DRAIN Drain the fuel tank every 50 hours or weekly. See Figure 4.26A. 1. Place an empty container below the fuel tank drain valve. 2. Locate and open fuel tank drain valve on bottom of fuel tank. See Figure 4.26A. 3. Allow all water and sediment to drain from fuel tank into a waste container, then close the drain valve. FUEL TANK DRAIN VALVE D. WATER SEPARATOR The water separator isolates water that mixes in with the fuel. The water separator assembly is equipped with a float. When water accumulates, the float rises. Drain the water separator every 50 hours or weekly. See Figure 4.26B. 1.
Open the pump compartment door, lock it open, locate the water separator, place an empty con- tainer below its drain hose, and loosen the drain plug to drain the water. 2. Close the drain plug when the float comes down to the bottom. 3. Check and make sure fuel is not leaking.
