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.

The sensor drain should not be over-tightened
during normal service operations to avoid
internal damage and future fuel leaks.
The drain should be closed and secured
without the use of tools.
