cap that is designed for your vehicle. The customer warranty may

The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel filler cap is
venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops
before completely removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out and injure you or others.
If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap, excessive vacuum in
the fuel tank may damage the fuel system or cause the fuel cap
to disengage in a collision, which may result in personal injury.

blended with a maximum of 85% ethanol. Do not use fuel containing
methanol. It can damage critical fuel system components.
The use of leaded fuel is prohibited by law and could damage your
vehicle.
