Fuel Filter and Fuel Tank Cleaning
1. Remove the fuel tank cap and empty the fuel tank into an
approved gasoline container. Use a funnel to avoid spill-
ing gasoline.
2. Pull the fuel filter out through the fuel filler neck by
hooking the black fuel supply tube with a piece of wire,
such as a partly straightened paper clip.

and wash it with nonflammable solvent. Be careful to
avoid damaging the filter.
Replace the filter if it is damaged or excessively dirty.
4. Rinse sediment from the fuel tank with nonflammable
solvent.
5. Insert the fuel filter in the fuel tank and install the fuel
tank cap.
