Plymouth Gran Fury 1980 Operating Instructions And Product Information page 7

f
Vehicles not equipped with catalyst emission co ntrol systems
were design ed to provide optimum efficiency using leaded
gasolines h aving the same minimum a nti-knock values shown . It
is recommended that these vehicles not be operated exclusively
on unleaded gasolines.
Materials Added to Fuel
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning agen ts should be
avoided. Many of these materials intended for gum and varnish
removal may contain active solvents or similar ingredients that
can be harmfu l to gasket and diaphragm materials used in fuel
system component parts .
Gas Cap Location
The filler tub e is behind the rear license plate.
Note: The gasoline filler tube, on cars equipped with a catalytic
converter, has a restricting door about 2 inches
(50
mm) down
from the
opening. If,
in an emergency, fuel is poured from a
portable container, the container should have a flexible nozzle
long enough to force open the restricting door.
All Chrysler Corporati on cars use a pressure vacuu m relief
gasoline cap. If it is rep laced be sure to specify thi s type.

Exhaust Gas Warning (Carbon monoxide)
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a potentially toxic gas
that by itseU is colorless and odorless. To avoid breathing these
gases the following precautions should be observed:
• Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in confined areas
any longer than needed to move the car in or out of the area.
• If it is necessary to sit in a parked car with the en gine running
for more than a sh ort period, adjust your heating or cooling
system to force outside a ir into the car. Set the fan at high speed
and the controls in any position except OFF or MAX NC.
• To avoid drawing exhaust gases into the car, the trunk lid
should be dosed while driving. However, if for some reason it
must remain open, close all windows and roof opening (sun-
roof) and adj ust heating or cooling system to force outside air
into the car. Set controls in any mode except OFF or MAX NC,
and set the blower in high speed .
