Fuel Tank Filler Pipe Cap

NOTE: If a fuel tank filler pipe cap requires replacement, use only a fuel tank filler pipe cap with the same features. Failure to use the correct fuel tank filler pipe cap can result in a malfunction of the fuel system. A loose or incorrect fuel tank filler pipe cap can set a DTC.

The fuel tank filler pipe is equipped with a screw-type fuel tank filler pipe cap. A built-in ratchet-type torque limiting device prevents overtightening. In order to install the cap, the cap must be turned clock-wise until a clicking noise is heard. This signals that the correct torque has been reached and the cap is fully seated. A fuel filler cap that is not fully seated can cause a malfunction in the emission system.

The fuel tank filler pipe cap has a pressure relief and vacuum relief. The fuel tank filler pipe cap has a tether connected to the fuel tank filler pipe.
