!
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.
1. Remove the plug from the water separating fuel filter as shown following
and install a barbed fitting into the water separating fuel filter.

2. Attach an outboard type portable fuel tank with primer bulb to the barbed
fitting with a hose clamp.
