NOTE: The fuel tank filler pipe must be removed for fuel tank draining due to the installation of a spark arrestor internally mounted in the fuel tank filler pipe. This will not allow a drain tube to pass into the fuel tank for draining purposes.

1. Remove the fuel tank filler pipe.







2. Insert a suitable fuel drain tube into the fuel tank.
3. Attach the fuel storage tanker to the fuel drain tube and extract the fuel from the fuel tank.
