The cap
is
behind a hinged door on the passenger’s side
of
your vehicle. On four-door models, use the key to
the vehicle to unlock the fuel door.
To
take off the cap, turn it slowly to the
left
(counterclockwise).
When you put the cap
back
on, turn it to the right until
you
hear at least three clicks. Make sure you fully install
the cap. The diagnostic system can determine
if
the fuel
cap has been left off or improperly installed. This would
allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. See
“Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in the Index.
If
you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites
it,
you could be
badly
burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if
your tank
is
nearly full,
and
is
more likely
in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any “hiss” noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap
all
the way.
Be careful
not
to
spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon
as
possible.
See
“Cleaning the
Outside of Your Geo” in the Index.
NOTICE:
If
you
need
a
new cap, be sure to get the right
type. Your dealer can get one for you.
If
you get
the wrong type, it may
not
fit
or have proper
venting, and your fuel tank and emissions system
might be damaged.
