Special Tool
CH 45004 Fuel Tank Drain Hose
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
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.
- Remove the fuel fill cap.
- Insert the CH 45004 hose into the fuel tank until the bottom is reached.
- Use a hand or air operated pump device in order to drain as much fuel through the fuel fill pipe as possible.
NOTE:
Lubricate the fuel drain hose with Transjel Lubricant or equivalent to aid in hose insertion.
