Fillpipe Restrictor: Description and Operation

PURPOSE
Prevents inserting fuel fill nozzles that do not dispense unleaded gasoline into the tank fill opening.

LOCATION
In the fuel tank fill opening.

OPERATION
The opening in the tank fill pipe is a smaller diameter than the diameter of the leaded fuel fill nozzles. This prevents the larger nozzles from being used to add leaded fuel to the tank.
