Opening The Fuel Filler Door; Removing The Fuel Cap - Ford Econoline/Club Wagon E-150 Owner's Manual

Opening the Fuel Filler Door

To open the fuel filler door of your vehicle, just
insert your finger in the divot and pull the door
open all the way.
NOTE: For Stripped Chassis vehicles, see your
Body Builders manual for the proper
location of the fuel filler door.

Removing the fuel cap

The proper instructions for removing the fuel
cap are as follows:
Unscrew the fuel cap by exerting pressure on
the plastic lock bar and rotating the fuel cap
counterclockwise.
Turn the fuel cap 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn until a
hissing sound is heard. Wait until the hissing
sound stops and then continue rotating
counterclockwise to remove the fuel cap.
Make sure that you follow the above fuel cap
removal instructions and use caution. Such
caution will minimize the possibility of fuel
spraying during removal of the fuel cap.
To replace and secure the fuel cap; place it in
position and rotate it clockwise until it clicks
(ratchets). Doing so will not damage or break
the fuel cap. The ratcheting mechanism allows
the fuel cap to be sealed without overtightening.
If you lose the fuel cap, replace it with an
authorized Motorcraft or equivalent part.
If you do not use the proper fuel cap, the
pressure in the fuel tank can damage the
fuel system or cause it to work improperly
in a collision.
