filling an ungrounded fuel container:
• Place approved fuel container on the ground.

Easy Fuel® No Cap Fuel System
WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear
a hissing sound near the fuel filler door, do not refuel until the
sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious
personal injury.
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Turn the engine off.
2. To open the fuel filler door, press
the center of the rear edge and then
release.
3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle
fully into the fuel system, and leave
the nozzle fully inserted to open
both doors until you are done
pumping. Hold handle higher during
insertion for easier access.
