CAUTION!

Damage to the fuel system or emission control
system could result from using an improper fuel
tank filler cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let
impurities into the fuel system.

WARNING!

Remove the fuel cap slowly to prevent fuel spray

from the filler neck which may cause injury.

The volatility of some gasoline may cause a

buildup of pressure in the fuel tank which may
increase while you drive. This pressure can result
in a spray of gasoline and/or vapors when the cap
is removed from a hot vehicle. Removing the cap
slowly allows the pressure to vent and prevents
fuel spray.

Never add fuel when the engine is running.
Never have any smoking materials lit in or near

the vehicle when the fuel cap is removed or the
tank filled.
