Checking Things Under The Hood - Cadillac 1996 Eldorado Owner's Manual

If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you if you open the
fuel fillet cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your tank
i s
nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any "hiss" noise to stop. Then unscrew-
the cap all the way.

Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces
as soon
as possible. See "Cleaning the
Outside of Your Cadillac" in the Index.
When you put the cap back on, turn it to the right until
you hear at least three clicks. Make sure you fully install
the cap.
NOTICE:
If you need a new cap, be sure to get the.right
type. Your dealer can get one for you. If yau get
the wrong type, it may not fit or have proper
venting, and your fuel tank and emissions system
might be damaged.
