q
Fuel is flammable; do not use naked flames and do not smoke while draining the water separator.

If fuel is spilled, wipe it up immediately.
If the red ring (1) of the water separator is on the bottom of the
casing (2), this means that there is no water.
If the ring (1) is floating, this means that there is water up to its
lower surface, therefore drain the water by proceeding as follows.
1.
Open the engine bonnet and move the lever (3) to the locking
position (A). (For details, see "3.2.6 ENGINE HOOD").
2. With the filter wrench, loosen the ring nut (4), then remove
the container (2) and eliminate the water accumulated inside
it.
3. Put back the casing (2) and tighten the metal ring (4).
4. Set the lever (3) to the opening position (B).
