Relieving Fuel System Pressure
IMPORTANT:
Minimize fuel system pressure pri-
or to disassembly. Temporarily restrict the fuel
supply hose from fuel tank with hose pincer. Re-
move propeller and disconnect circulation fuel
pump electrical connector. If outboard runs, start
and run at IDLE for 5 seconds and STOP outboard.
If outboard does NOT run, crank for 10 seconds.
Disconnect the battery cables at the battery.
Wrap a shop towel completely around the pres-
sure test valve while connecting fitting from Fuel
Pressure Gauge, P/N 5007100, to top test fitting
of fuel pump/vapor separator assembly.
Insert venting hose of gauge into a suitable con-
tainer.
Slowly open gauge’s venting valve.
Clean up any spilled fuel with shop towels.
Fuel Filter Service
Removal
Disconnect the battery cables at the battery.
Use an appropriate filter wrench to turn the filter in
a counterclockwise direction. Remove the filter
carefully to prevent spilling the filter’s contents.
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive under certain conditions. Use cau-
tion when working on any part of the fuel sys-
tem.
Protect against hazardous fuel spray. Before
starting any fuel system service, carefully
relieve fuel system pressure. Refer to Reliev-
ing Fuel System Pressure.
Always disconnect the battery cables at the
battery before servicing the fuel system
unless instructed to do otherwise.
Always work in a well ventilated area and
wipe off any fuel spillage.
DO NOT smoke and make certain no open
flames or ignition sources exist.
After servicing the fuel system check for
leaks. Failure to check for fuel leakage could
allow a leak to go undetected, resulting in fire
or explosion.
