Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) - Dodge 2006 Ram 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual

CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top
off" the fuel tank after filling.
NOTE: When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the
fuel tank is full.
NOTE: Tighten the gas cap until you hear a "clicking"
sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is properly
tightened. Make sure that the gas cap is tightened each
time the vehicle is refueled.

Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)

The gas cap is behind the fuel filler door. If the gas cap is
lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap is for use
with this vehicle.
NOTE: After fuel is added, the vehicle diagnostic sys-
tem can determine if the fuel filler cap is loose, improp-
erly installed, or damaged. A GASCAP message will be
displayed in the instrument cluster. Tighten the gas cap
until a "clicking" sound is heard. This is an indication
that the gas cap is properly tightened. Press the odometer
reset button to turn the message off. If the problem
persists, the message will appear the next time the
vehicle is started. This might indicate a damaged cap. If
the problem is detected twice in a row, the system will
turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). Resolving
the problem will turn the MIL light off.
