(e) Draining Fuel System
The bulk of the fuel may be drained from the system by opening
the valve at the inboard end of each fuel tank. Push up on the arms
of the drain valve and turn counterclockwise to hold the drain open.
The remaining fuel in the system may be drained through the filter
bowl. Any individual tank may be drained by closing the selector
valve and then draining the desired tank.
CAUTION
Whenever the fuel system is completely drained
and fuel is replenished it will be necessary to run
the engine for a minimum of three minutes at
1000 RPM on each tank to insure that no air
exists in the fuel supply lines.
