The fuel/water separator should be checked daily and/or whenever refueling. 1"-2" (2.5-5 cm) of water depth in water trap can cause the engine to run poorly due to restricted fuel flow. If water trap fills quickly, check for water in the fuel tank.
1. Visually inspect bowl for water collected at bottom of bowl.
NOTE If water is present it will appear as a clear liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
1995 and later water traps include a filter to improve water separation, and a colored float to indicate water level. The maximum travel of the float is to the base of the filter, or approximately one half the depth of the bowl. Empty bowl if float appears to be off the bottom.
Turn fuel valve to "OFF" position before removing bowl.
