Fuel Filler Cap: Description and Operation
Evaporative Emission Control System - Fuel Filler CapDESCRIPTION
A ratchet tightening device on the threaded fuel filler cap reduces the chances of incorrect installation, which would seal the fuel filler. After the gasket on the fuel filler cap and the filler neck flange contact each other, the ratchet produces a loud clicking noise indicating the seal has been set.
