The fuel system may be under pressure.
If the fuel cap is venting vapor or if
you hear a hissing sound, wait until it

vehicle, clean it off immediately. The fuel may dull
or soften the paint if you do not wash it off.

finished. Turn it clockwise 1/4 turn until it is
tight. It will click when it is fully tightened.
