Filling A Portable Fuel Container - Chevrolet KODIAK 2005 Owner's Manual

When you put the cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise) until it is tight.
Notice: If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get
the right type. Your dealer 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 may damage your fuel tank and emissions
system. See Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 3-36.
If you have dual tanks, fill the driver's side tank, or
forward tank, first. The fuel gage will give better
readings this way. Your gage will show the total fuel
left in both tanks.

Filling a Portable Fuel Container

CAUTION:
{
Never fill a portable fuel container while it is in
your vehicle. Static electricity discharge from
the container can ignite the gasoline vapor.
You can be badly burned and your vehicle
damaged if this occurs. To help avoid injury to
you and others:
•
Dispense gasoline only into approved
containers.
•
Do not fill a container while it is inside a
vehicle, in a vehicle's trunk, pickup bed, or
on any surface other than the ground.
•
Bring the fill nozzle in contact with the
inside of the fill opening before operating
the nozzle. Contact should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
•
Do not smoke while pumping gasoline.
