Filling A Portable Fuel Container - Pontiac G3 2010 Owner's Manual

When replacing the fuel cap, turn it clockwise until it
clicks. Make sure the cap is fully installed. The
diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has
been left off or improperly installed. This would allow
fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. See Malfunction
Indicator Lamp on page 4 29.
WARNING:
If a fire starts while you are refueling, do not
remove the nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by notifying the station
attendant. Leave the area immediately.
Notice: If a new fuel cap is needed, be sure to get
the right type. Your dealer/retailer can get one for
you. The wrong type might not fit properly. This can
cause the malfunction indicator lamp to light and
can damage the fuel tank and emissions system.

Filling a Portable Fuel Container

WARNING:
Never fill a portable fuel container while it is in the
vehicle. Static electricity discharge from the
container can ignite the fuel vapor. You can be
badly burned and the vehicle damaged if this
occurs. To help avoid injury to you and others:
Dispense fuel 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 fuel.
Do not use a cellular phone while
pumping fuel.
