NOTE:
Over-compression of the seal due to over-tight-
ening of the drain will damage the seal, cause a
leak, and require the entire sensor to be
replaced.

during normal service operations to avoid
internal damage and future fuel leaks. The
drain should be closed and secured without the
use of tools.
