Fuel Fill Door And Cap - Honda Accord Sedan 1993 Reference Owner's Manual

Gasoline (cont'd)

Fuel Fill Door and Cap

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions. Perform this operation in a well-ventilated area with
the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks
in the area or where gasoline is stored.
The fuel fill door is opened by pulling up on the lever at the left side
of the driver's seat.
The door will lock automatically when closed; push it until it clicks.
CAUTION:
You may hear a hiss when you open the fuel fill cap. This sound is
residual pressure escaping from the fuel tank. Open the cap slowly
and remove the cap after the hissing stops. Fuel spray may cause
injury. Do not overfill the tank; fill only until the gas pump clicks off
automatically and never top off.
NOTE:
The fuel fill cap is a screw-in ratchetting type. Tighten the cap
clockwise until ratchetting clicks are heard.
The removed fuel fill cap can be placed on the inside of the door.
Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under certain conditions.
Always stop the engine before refueling, and never refuel near
sparks or open flames.
CAUTION:
If you replace the cap, use only a genuine Honda replacement part
or its equivalent. Failure to use the proper part could cause serious
fuel system problems.
