Tools Required: Notes

CAUTION: Never drain or store fuel in an open container. Always use an approved fuel storage container in order to reduce the chance of fire or explosion. 
CAUTION: Place a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby before performing any on-vehicle service procedures. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury. 
NOTE: Drain the fuel tank with a hose which has a 13 mm (0.5 in) or smaller diameter in order to prevent the drain hose from getting stuck inside the fuel tank filler neck pipe check valve. Damage to the check valve may result.
