Filling A Portable Fuel Container - GMC TopKick 2007 Owner's Manual

If your vehicle is a C4/C5 model and you have
dual tanks, the engine must be off when refueling
or the fuel transfer system may become
inoperable.
If you have a single tank with dual fillers, where
there is a filler on each side of the vehicle, do not
attempt to fill the tank through both fillers at the
same time. Also, do not fill the tank with both caps
removed, as this may result in over-filling the
tank and fuel spillage.

Filling a Portable Fuel Container

CAUTION:
{
Never fill a portable fuel container while it
is in your vehicle. Static electricity
discharge from the container can ignite the
gasoline vapor. You can be badly burned
and your vehicle damaged if this occurs.
To help avoid injury to you and others:
•
Dispense gasoline only into approved
containers.
•
Do not fill a container while it is inside a
vehicle, in a vehicle's trunk, pickup
bed, or on any surface other than the
ground.
•
Bring the fill nozzle in contact with
the inside of the fill opening before
operating the nozzle. Contact should
be maintained until the filling is
complete.
•
Do not smoke while pumping gasoline.
