Fuel Tank Draining

PROCEDURE
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.

NOTE: When the battery is disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 16 km (10 miles) or more to relearn the strategy.

2. Insert Rotunda Fuel Tanker Adapter Hose 164-R3206 or equivalent into fuel tank through fuel tank filler pipe.

NOTE: Vehicles with fuel-injected engines have reservoirs inside fuel tank to maintain fuel near fuel pickup during vehicle cornering maneuvers and under low fuel operating conditions. These reservoirs could block siphon tubes or hoses from reaching bottom of fuel tank. This situation can be overcome with a few repeated attempts using different hose orientations.

3. Remove fuel from fuel tank with Rotunda Fuel Storage Tanker 164-R3201 or equivalent.
