DANGER
Fire and Explosion Hazard!
• Diesel fuel is flammable and
explosive under certain
conditions.
• When you remove any fuel system component
to perform maintenance (such as changing
the fuel filter) place an approved container
under the opening to catch the fuel.
• Never use a shop rag to catch the fuel. Vapors
from the rag are flammable and explosive.
• Wipe up any spills immediately.
• Wear eye protection. The fuel system is under
pressure and fuel could spray out when you
remove any fuel system component.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
NOTICE
• Always be environmentally
responsible.
• Follow the guidelines of the EPA or other
governmental agencies for the proper disposal of
hazardous materials such as engine oil, diesel
fuel and engine coolant. Consult the local
authorities or reclamation facility.
• Never dispose of hazardous materials
irresponsibly by dumping them into a sewer, on
the ground, or into ground water or waterways.
• Failure to follow these procedures may seriously
harm the environment.
Note that a typical fuel tank is illustrated.
1. Position an approved container under the diesel
fuel tank (Figure 10, (1)) to collect the
contaminants.
Figure 10
2. Remove the fuel cap (Figure 10, (3)).
3. Remove the drain plug (Figure 10, (2)) to drain
the contaminants (water, dirt, etc.) from the
bottom of the tank.
4. Drain the tank until clean diesel fuel with no
water or dirt flows out. Reinstall and tighten the
drain plug firmly.
5. Reinstall the fuel cap.
6. Check for leaks.
