INSPECT
Inspect the Gravity Feed Adaptor cap (1) for any cracks that would cause a fuel leak. Inspect the gasket
(2) inside the adaptor for any cracks that would prevent a proper seal. Inspect the hose (3) and QD
connector (4) at the top of the adaptor to ensure that they are securely connected and that the hoses are
not cracked or otherwise damaged. Check the condition of the automatic vent (5) for proper operation.
Inspect the fuel supply hose (6) for any cracking or other deterioration that would cause the hose to leak.
Check the condition of all connections (7) between the hose and the quick disconnect fittings (8) for a
secure seal.
Inspect the overflow hose (9) for any cracking or other deterioration that would cause the hose to leak.
Check the condition of the connection (10) between the hose and the quick disconnect fitting (11) for a
secure seal.
REPLACE
Replace a cracked or otherwise damaged gravity feed adaptor gasket (2) by removing the damaged
gasket and pressing a new gasket in place.
Replace the gravity feed adaptor if there are cracks in the plastic cap, the hose is damaged, or the QD
connector leaks.
Replace the fuel supply hose or overflow hose is there are any cuts or damage that would cause the hose
to leak. Replace if the QD connectors or any of the fittings are damaged or leak.
