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
Oldsmobile” in the Index.
When you put the cap back
on,
turn
it
to the right
(clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound. 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.
NOTICE:
If
you need
a
new cap, be sure to get the right
type. Your retailer can get one for you.
If
you get
the wrong type, it may not fit properly. This may
cause your malfunction indicator lamp to light
and your fuel tank and emissions system may be
damaged. See C‘Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in
the Index.
