1. Disconnect the quick release connector (engine compartment side).
2. Attach a long hose to the disconnected fuel pipe and drain the fuel into a proper receptacle.

CAUTION: Shorting the wrong terminal of the check connector may cause malfunctions. Make sure to short only the specified
terminal.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and operate the fuel pump for approx. 20 min.
CAUTION: The fuel pump may malfunction if it is operated without any fuel in the fuel tank (fuel pump idling). Constantly monitor
the amount of fuel being discharged and immediately stop operation of the pump when essentially no fuel is being discharged.
5. When essentially no fuel is being discharged from the hose, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

approx. 10 min more and then essentially no fuel will be discharged. At this time the fuel gauge needle will be at the halfway position.
