only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.

If the fuel level gauge is malfunctioning
The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate if the fuel level gauge is mal-

lamp may illuminate erroneously in some situations, such as when the vehicle
is refueled repeatedly when the fuel tank is nearly full.)
