Fuel tank - Drain water
If fuel gets mixed with particles of foreign materials
such as dust, dirt, or water, it can cause not only
decrease of output but also malfunctions of the fuel
system. To avoid such a problem, drain fuel tank as
described below.
1. Place a fuel tray (capacity of 2 L [0.5 U.S. gal.] or
more) under the drain cock of fuel tank.
2. Open the drain cock of fuel tank and drain fuel at
least 1 to 2 L [0.3 to 0.5 U.S. gal.].
3. Make sure that water and particles of foreign mate-
rials discharged with fuel. Close the drain cock.
Fig. 8-2 Fuel tank - Drain water
When working around fuel, make sure there are no open flames, heaters or other fire hazards. Wipe off any spilled
fuel completely. Spilled fuel can ignite and cause a fire.
Do not remove the strainer when filling the fuel. For fuel to be used, refer to "FUEL" (4-1).
Bleeding water procedure described below is a commonly used procedure. Some application may be equipped
with different fuel tank.
