Fuel Filter and Fuel Pump Service
WARNING
Many solvents are highly flammable and may
cause serious burns. Improper use of sol-
vents can result in fire or an explosion. Do
not use gasoline or low flash-point solvents
to clean the fuel filter and/or the fuel pump.
Clean only in a well-ventilated area away from
sources of sparks or flame, including any ap-
pliances with a pilot light.

The fuel filter can not be disassembled. If the fuel
filter gets clogged, replace it with a new one.
•
The fuel pumps can not be disassembled. If the
fuel pump fails, replace it with a new one.

WARNING
Engines can become extremely hot during
