Fuel Filter Cup Cleaning

The fuel filter cup is a small well underneath the fuel valve which helps trap dirt and water that may be in the fuel tank before entering the engine.

To clean the fuel filter cup:

1.Turn the fuel valve to the “off” position.

2.Unscrew the fuel filter cup from the fuel valve using a wrench. (Turn the valve toward you to unscrew as illustrated in Figure 15.)

3.Using a rag or brush, clean the cup of all sediment.

4.Reinstall the fuel filter cup.
