!
Use truck fuel pump nozzles to refuel. If you
use a passenger vehicle fuel pump nozzle, the
flap in the filler neck could be damaged.
If you have to use a passenger vehicle fuel
pump nozzle, insert it into the filler neck so
that only one of the pump nozzle lugs rest on
the edge of the filler neck.
If a passenger vehicle fuel pump nozzle is
inserted too far, this may result in a lug getting
caught on the flap in the filler neck. To release
the fuel pump nozzle in such a case, twist or
tip it before attempting to remove the fuel
pump nozzle.
You will find further information on fuel in the
