Important: The fuel tanks are connected, but
the fuel does not transfer quickly from one tank
to the other. It is important when filling that
you park on a level surface. If you park on a hill,
you may inadvertently overfill the tanks.
2. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
3. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove the cap.
Important: Do not open the fuel tanks when
parked on a hill. The fuel could spill out.
4. Add fuel to both fuel tanks, until the level is even
with the bottom of the filler neck (Figure 39). Do
not over fill the fuel tanks.

inside the fuel tank.
