Instructions for use:
1. Select the correct sized Water Seeker for your application (3 Sizes Available). Select the biggest Water Seeker that will fit through your oil tanks access hatch or filler point
2. Ensure there are no sources of ignition near the fuel tank before opening
3. Lower the Water Seeker into the tank using the attached Nylon cord until it reaches the bottom of the tank and lays flat, the cord will go slack at this point. As water is more dense than fuel, this is where any water will have accumulated
4. Ensure the Nylon cord is tied securely to something so that it can be used to retrieve the Water Seeker

6. Ensure the Water Seeker does not obstruct any outlets or sender units in the fuel tank, this is most important in moving vehicles, such as boats
7. Dispose of Water Seeker in accordance with local regulations, normally the Water Seeker should be disposed of as if it were Waste Fuel Oil.
