Disconnect the fuel return hose [C] from the fuel tank [D].
Run the open end of the return hose into the container and hold it level with the tank top [E].
Start the engine, and let it idle.

If the gasoline in the separator comes out of the hose, the separator works well. If it does not, replace the separator with a new one.
