The cap is behind a hinged door on the right side of your
vehicle.
To
open the
door,
insert your finger into the
finger depression
in
the
fuel
door.
While refueling, hang the tethered cap inside the
‘fuel door.
To
take
off
the cap,
turn
it slowly
to
the left
(counterclockwise). The cap has a spring
in
it;
if
you let
go
of
the cap too soon, it will spring back to the right.
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 fnll, 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.
