A
CAUTION:
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 ful1;hnd
is
more likely
m
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
Qr
improperly
installed.
This
would allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. See “Malfunction Indicator Larnp” 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
or have proper
venting, and your fuel tank and emissions system
might be damaged.
