Filling A Portable Fuel Container - Chevrolet T-Series Owner's Manual

When replacing the fuel cap, turn it clockwise until
it is tight.
CAUTION:
{
If a fire starts while you are refueling, do
not remove the nozzle. Shut off the flow of
fuel by shutting off the pump or by
notifying the station attendant. Leave
the area immediately.
Notice: If you need a new fuel cap, be sure
to get the right type. Your dealer can get
one for you. If you get the wrong type, it may
not fit properly. This may cause your
malfunction indicator lamp to light and may
damage your fuel tank and emissions system.
See Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 111.

Filling a Portable Fuel Container

CAUTION:
{
Never fill a portable fuel container while it
is in your vehicle. Static electricity
discharge from the container can ignite
the fuel vapor. You can be badly burned
and your vehicle damaged if this occurs.
To help avoid injury to you and others:
•
Dispense fuel only into approved
containers.
•
Do not fill a container while it is inside
a vehicle, in a vehicle's trunk, pickup
bed, or on any surface other than the
ground.
•
Bring the fill nozzle in contact with the
inside of the fill opening before
operating the nozzle. Contact should
be maintained until the filling is
complete.
•
Do not smoke while pumping fuel.
