Fuel Tank Draining
CAUTION:
Gasoline or gasoline vapors are highly flammable. A fire could occur if an ignition source is present. Never drain or store gasoline or diesel fuel in an open container, due to the possibility of fire or explosion. Have a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby.
WARNING:
Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition key must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be OFF, unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, also disconnect the negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Raise the vehicle.
- Loosen the fuel fill hose clamp (1). See Figure.
- Disconnect the fuel fill hose (2) from the fuel tank.
- Use a hand or air operated pump device in order to drain as much fuel from the fuel tank as possible.
