Fuel Filler Cap (Typical)Fuel Level Sensor
NOTE:
Use a fuel tank filler pipe cap with the same features as the original when a replacement is necessary. Failure to use the correct fuel tank filler pipe cap can result in a serious malfunction of the fuel system.
The fuel filler cap is equipped with a turn to vent screw, a vacuum safety relief, and a ratchet action in order to prevent over-tightening.
The turn to vent feature allows fuel tank pressure relief prior to removal. Instructions for proper use are imprinted on the fuel cap cover.
The fuel filler cap is tethered to the fuel tank filler pipe. The ratchet action prevents the cap from being over-tightened. To install the cap, turn the cap clockwise until you hear audible clicks. This indicates that the cap is correctly torqued and fully seated. A fuel filler cap that is not fully seated may cause a malfunction in the emission system.
