Open drain valve (1) on the bottom of the fuel/water separator element. Drain the water into a suitable container.
Close the drain valve when all the water has been drained.Note: When water is not drained from the primary filter sufficiently, water will collect in the secondary fuel filter. Trapped water will eventually overflow. Draining water from the secondary fuel filter will prevent water damaging the fuel system. The procedure for the secondary filter is the same as the primary filter.
Close the access door.
