Fuel Cap - Alfa Romeo 156 GTA Owner's Manual

FUEL CAP

The fuel flap is released from inside the
car, raising the front part of the lever (A-
fig. 155).
The fuel cap (A-fig. 156) has a catch
to prevent misplacing it (B) that fastens it
to the flap (C).

IMPORTANT The fuel tank is sealed her-
metically and pressure may build up inside.
Any noise of rushing air when the cap is re-
moved is perfectly normal.
IMPORTANT For your safety, make sure
that the fuelling pump nozzle is inserted cor-
rectly into the housing, before starting the
engine.

WARNING
Do not get near the fuel
filler with naked flames or
lit cigarettes: danger of fire.
Also avoid going too near the
filler with the face to avoid inhal-
ing harmful vapours.
In case of need, replace
the fuel cap only with an
original one; otherwise,
the efficiency of the petrol vapour
recovery system could be badly af-
fected.
