392 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE CAUTION! Do not drain the fuel/water separator filter when the engine is running. NOTE: Care should be taken in disposing of used fluids from your vehicle. Used fluids, indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the environment. Contact your local authorized dealer, service station, or government agency for advice on recycling programs and for where used fluids and filters can be properly disposed of in your area. Drain a small amount from the fuel/water separator filter periodically or when the WATER IN FUEL indicator lamp is on. Pull outward on the drain valve lever, located on the side of the filter, and allow any accumulated water to drain. Hold the drain valve open until all water and contaminants have been removed. Close the drain release valve, by returning it to the inward position, when clean fuel is visible. NOTE: The Fuel / Water separator drain valve is identified by its yellow handle and is located on the inboard side of the fuel filter housing. If more than a couple ounces of fuel has been drained, follow the directions below for "Priming if the engine has run out of fuel." WARNING! Do not open the high pressure fuel system with the engine running. Engine operation causes high fuel pressure. High pressure fuel spray can cause serious injury or death.
