Do not start this procedure while the engine is operating or hot. 2. Place the fuel filter away from every source of ignition such as sparks or open flames. 3. Inspect the fuel filter located inside the engine cover for the presence of water or dirt. 4. Replace the fuel filter if water or dirt is found inside. WARNING: Install fuel filter with all related parts in place, or fuel leak could occur, leading to catching fire or explosion. 5. Wipe off any spilled gasoline immediately and dispose of it in accordance with local fire prevention and environment protection regulations. 6. After installation, check the fuel system regularly for leakage.
