Warning: 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.

Warning: 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.

  1. Remove the fuel fill cap.
  2. Install the J 42960-2 into the fuel fill pipe in order to hold the door open.
  3. Lubricate the fuel drain hose with J 36850 or equivalent to aid in hose insertion. Do not use an unapproved lubricant.
