WARNING
Fuel is flammable and explosive. Ensure that the key switch is off and the
lanyard is positioned so that the engine cannot start. Do not smoke or allow
sources of spark or open flame in the area while servicing. Keep the work
area well ventilated and avoid prolonged exposure to vapors. Always check
for leaks before attempting to start the engine, and wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
Filter Replacement
1. Close the fuel valve, if equipped.
2. Place a container under the fuel filter.
3. Remove the water‑in‑fuel sensor and allow the filter to drain into the
container. The liquid that has drained from the filter must be disposed of
according to applicable regulations and law.
a - Water separating fuel filter
b - Water‑in‑fuel sensor
4. Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise. Dispose of the filter
according to applicable regulations and law.
5. Lubricate the new filter seal with oil. Do not use grease.
6. Install the filter and tighten securely.
7. Install the water‑in‑fuel sensor and tighten securely. Do not overtighten
this sensor or damage may occur.
8. Start the engine and inspect the area for fuel leaks. Repair as required.
9. Open the fuel valve, if equipped.
NOTE: After replacing the water separating fuel filter, the engine may stall or
develop a slight hesitation and should clear itself of entrained air within a few
minutes. Allow the trapped air to be purged from the fuel system before
operating the engine above idle in gear.
