6.Fuel filter service/Fuel tank cleaning
Note that the clogged fuel filter can cause poor engine performance.
Water and dust, dirt or foreign material in the fuel tank cause a poor
engine performance.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
Observe the following when servicing the fuel filter and cleaning the
fuel tank.
• Stop the engine.
• Inspect in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Do not smoke.
• Do not spill the gasoline. If you spilled the gasoline, wipe it up
immediately and dispose of the cloth or shop towel you wiped the
spilled gasoline in a manner that is compatible with the environment.
1.Be sure that the engine oil filler cap is tightened securely.
2.Remove the fuel tank cap and drain the gasoline into the container by
tipping the engine toward the fuel filler neck.
3.Pull out the fuel filter with the mechanic's wire from the fuel filler
neck gently.
4.Check the fuel filter for contamination. If the fuel filter is dirty, wash
it gently with nonflammable or high flash point solvent. If the fuel
filter is excessively dirty, replace it.
