Cadillac 2005 DeVille - Manual (Page 276)

The fuel door release
button is located to the left
of the steering wheel
next to the exterior lamp
control. The button
only works when the
vehicle is in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N), the
key is in the ignition and
the VALET lockout
button is in OFF.
An alternate fuel door
release is located inside of
the trunk on the driver’s
side of the vehicle. Pull it to
release the fuel door.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The fuel cap has a spring in it; if the
cap is released too soon, it will spring back to the right.
While refueling, hang the tethered fuel cap from the
hook on the fuel door.
{ CAUTION:
If you spill fuel and then something ignites it,
you could be badly burned. Fuel can spray out
on you if you open the fuel cap too quickly.
This spray can happen if your tank is nearly
full, and is more likely in hot weather. Open
the fuel cap slowly and wait for any hiss noise
to stop. Then unscrew the cap all the way.
