Warning
Fuel vapors and fuel fires burn
violently and can cause injury or
death.
To help avoid injuries to you
and others, read and follow
all the instructions on the fuel
pump island.
Turn off the engine when
refueling.
Keep sparks, flames, and
smoking materials away
from fuel.
Do not leave the fuel pump
unattended.
Do not reenter the vehicle
while pumping fuel.
Keep children away from the
fuel pump and never let
children pump fuel.

Open the fuel cap slowly and
wait for any hiss noise to stop
then unscrew the cap all

cap can use either unleaded
gasoline or ethanol fuel containing

or FlexFuel on page 9-69.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it
slowly counterclockwise.
If the vehicle is a dual fuel tank
chassis cab model, and it runs out
of fuel, refuel the front fuel tank first
to ensure a quick restart.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not
top off or overfill the tank and wait a
few seconds after you have finished
pumping before removing the
nozzle. Clean fuel from painted
surfaces as soon as possible. See
Exterior Care on page 10-100.
When replacing the fuel cap, turn it
clockwise until it clicks. It will require
more effort to turn the fuel cap on
the last turn as you tighten it. Make
sure the cap is fully installed. The
diagnostic system can determine if
