Fuel Tank Draining

PROCEDURE

CAUTION Never drain or store gasoline or diesel fuel in an open container, due to the possibility of fire or explosion.

DRAINING
- Disconnect the negative battery cable. Have a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby.
- Use a hand operated pump device to drain as much fuel as possible through the filler neck. On some fuel tank installations, the filler neck is too long to gain access to the fuel. If the tank is not full, disconnect filler neck hose, at the fuel tank, to gain access to the fuel.
- Disconnect fuel feed pipe and attach a hand operated pump device.
- Energize the fuel pump relay.
- With fuel pump running, operate the hand pump to remove fuel.
- After servicing fuel tank, install removed hose, lines, and fuel filler cap.
