..............................Remove as much fuel as possible. The
strainer is at the very bottom and any left in the tank will run out
onto the ground - or you. Find the bottom of the fuel tank. Remove the
hose from the hard line going forward. Have a container to catch some of
the fuel you left in the tank. If the screen is plugged, not all will
come out the hose. Unscrew the fuel strainer. It is a very large hex.
Water pump pliers (channelocks) can work well. Let the rest of the fuel
in the tank run down your arm, soak your shirt, and puddle under your
back. Put the new one in. Be sure the rubber seal is in place. Tighten.
Attach the hose to the hard line. Set up a tent in the back yard 'cause
you won't be allowed back in the house until you don't smell like raw
diesel anymore. Plan on a couple days. -- Philip
Use $2 oil sucker and empty the tank?
