WARNING:
- Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel related components. Highly flammable vapors are always present and may ignite. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- The fuel system remains pressurized for a long time after the ignition is switched off. The fuel pressure must be relieved before attempting any repairs. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.


1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap.

3. NOTE:
- To enable the hose to enter the fuel tank it is necessary to cut a 40 mm long taper at the end. If necessary, rotate the hose while pushing in to bypass the flapper.
- Follow the operating instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer.

Drain the fuel from the fuel tank using a 10.0 mm outside diameter nylon drain tube with the approved Ford fuel drain tank.
