Filling with a fuel can
When filling with a fuel can, use the funnel
located under the floor hatch in the cargo
area. The funnel is located by the spare wheel
or in the well under the floor hatch.
Make sure you insert the funnel's pipe firmly
into the filler pipe. The filler pipe has an open-
able cap and the funnel's pipe must be
moved past the cap before filling can begin.
