INSTALL OR CONNECT
WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Fire and Personal Injury:
^
Before installing a new filter, always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male tube end of the filter and to the fuel level meter
assembly. This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation, the O-rings located in the
female connector will swell and may prevent proper re-connection if not lubricated).
1. Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male tube end of the filter and of the fuel sender assembly.
2. Push connectors together to cause the retaining tabs / fingers to snap into place.
3. Once installed, pull on both ends of each connection to make sure they are secure.
