FUEL TANK DRAINING

WARNINGNever drain or store fuel in an open container. Always use an approved fuel storage container to reduce the chance of fire or explosion. 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 filler cap.
  2. Install Fuel Flapper Door Holder (J-42960-2) into the fuel fill pipe to hold the fill door open.
  3. Insert Fuel Drain Hose (J-42960-1) into the fuel tank until the hose reaches the bottom of the fuel tank.
  4. Use an air operated pump device to drain as much fuel through the fuel fill pipe as possible.
