Fuel Filler Cap: Description and Operation

Fuel Filler Cap:






DESCRIPTION
The fuel tank filler neck is equipped with a non-vented threaded-type cap. The threaded part of the cap requires several turns counterclockwise to remove. A built-in torque limiting device prevents over tightening. To install turn the cap clockwise two full turns until a clicking noise is heard. This signals that the correct torque has been reached and the cap is fully seated. Failure to use the correct cap can result in a serious malfunction of the system.

NOTE: If a fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a cap with the same features.
