WARNING:
-
Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly
flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any
fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in serious personal injury.
-
Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent accidental
spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure, even when the engine is not running. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in serious personal injury.
1. Release the fuel system pressure.
2. Release the fuel tank filler cap and position aside.
3. CAUTION: When removing the special tool, the fitting on the end of the hose can become detained by the one-way flapper valve.
Carefully remove the hose using a gentle agitating motion to avoid detaching the hose from the fitting.
NOTE: The special tool must be inserted into the fuel tank filler pipe until the fitting on the end of the hose enters into the fuel tank spout,
opening the one-way flapper valve.
Insert the special tool into the fuel tank filler pipe.
4. NOTE: This step will remove approximately 1/8 tank of the fuel from a completely full fuel tank and the majority of any residual fuel in the fuel
tank filler pipe.
