inside the pipe seals the system.

the nozzle opens and holds the flapper door
while refueling.

nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is
full.

nozzle to allow fuel to drain from nozzle.

door.

Most gas cans will not open the flapper door. A
funnel is provided to open the flapper door to
allow emergency refueling with a gas can.

area.

the fuel nozzle.

door open.
4. Pour fuel into funnel opening.

to putting back in the spare tire storage area.

fuel door from opening. If this occurs, lightly
push on the fuel door to break the ice buildup
and re-release the fuel door using the inside
release button. Do not pry on the door.
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the
fuel tank is full.
WARNING!

near the vehicle when the gas cap is
removed or the tank is being filled.

This is in violation of most state fire regu-
lations and may cause the MIL to turn on.
• A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into
a portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned.Always place
gas containers on the ground while filling.
