Fuel Tank Draining

Fuel Tank Draining

Tools Required
* J 36850 Transjel Lubricant
* J 42960-2 Fuel Flapper Door Holder
* J 45004 Fuel Tank Drain Hose

Caution: Never drain or store fuel in an open container. Always use an approved fuel storage container in order to reduce the chance of fire or explosion.

Caution: 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 fill cap.




2. Install the J 42960-2 into the fuel fill pipe in order to hold the door open.

Important: Lubricate the fuel drain hose with J 36850 or equivalent to aid in hose insertion. Do not use an unapproved lubricant.

3. Insert the J 45004 into the fuel tank until the hose reaches the bottom of the fuel tank.
4. Use a hand or air operated pump device in order to drain as much fuel through the fuel fill pipe as possible.
