Filling Your Tank - Chevrolet 1997 Cavalier Owner's Manual

Filling Your Tank
A
C A , J O N :
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns
violently, and that can cause very bad injuries.
Don't smoke if you're near gasoline or refueling
your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames and smoking
materials away from gasoline.
The cap is behind a hinged door on the right side of
your vehicle.
While refueling, hang the tethered cap inside the fuel
door by placing the fuel cap strap in the strap hanger.
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.
