Locking Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) - If Equipped - Jeep 2005 Wrangler Owner's Manual

228 STARTING AND OPERATING
WARNING!
• Remove the fuel cap (gas cap) slowly to prevent
fuel spray from the filler neck which may cause
injury.
• The volatility of some gasoline may cause a
buildup of pressure in the fuel tank that may
increase while you drive. This pressure can result
in a spray of gasoline and/or vapors when the cap
is removed from a hot vehicle. Removing the cap
slowly allows the pressure to vent and prevents
fuel spray.
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or near
the vehicle when the fuel cap is removed or the
tank filled.
• Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is
running.
WARNING!
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place gas containers on the
ground while filling.
