Place a suitable container under the drain valves. Open drain valve (3) first. Then, immediately open drain valve (2). Drain the fuel into a suitable container. When the fuel stops draining, keep the drain valves open. Loosen inverted filter (1) for 1/4 turn. As the filter is loosened, additional fuel may drain from the drain valves. When the fuel stops draining, loosen the filter for an additional 1/4 turn. Observe the flow of the fuel. Repeat this procedure until fuel does not drain from the drain valves. Close the drain valves. Properly dispose of the fuel.Note: Make sure that the drain valves are opened in the proper order.
