CXO300 OWNER’S MANUAL
6.4.9 PURGING FUEL FILTER WATER SEPARATOR
To drain the water separator
1 Ensure your outboard(s) are off and battery power is isolated at the helm.
2 Clear the area around the fuel filter-water separator unit of any ignition sources such as matches,
lighters etc.
3 To prevent fuel spillage, place a cloth under the fuel filter-water separator unit and a container of at
least 250 ml (8.0 fl oz) capacity on the cloth under the drain port.
4 Open the drain port by twisting it counterclockwise to drain.
5 Water will flow first, then fuel; shut off the drain port by twisting clockwise as soon as you see the flow
turn into fuel.
 NOTE
The maximum capacity of the water bowl is 120 ml (4.0 fl oz).
6 Clean up the work area. Dispose of the container contents and cloth thoughtfully and in accordance
with your local laws and regulations. Contact an authorized Cox Powertrain dealer if in doubt.
 NOTE
The above procedure should be repeated for each installed outboard
and fuel filter-water separator unit.
