Refueling In Emergency - If Equipped - Jeep GLADIATOR 2023 Owner's Manual

324 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
REFUELING IN EMERGENCY – IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle may be equipped with a refueling funnel.
Vehicles with diesel engines will have a cap to remove to
begin the refueling process. If refueling is necessary, while
using an approved gas can, insert the refueling funnel into
the filler neck opening. Take care to open both flappers
with the funnel to avoid spills.
Diesel Fuel Cap
NOTE:
In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel door
from opening. If this occurs, lightly push on the fuel door
to break the ice buildup and re-release the fuel door using
the inside release button. Do not pry on the door.
Emergency Gas Can Refueling
Most gas cans will not open the flapper doors. A funnel is
provided to allow emergency refueling with a gas can.
See the following steps for refueling:
1. Retrieve funnel from under the right rear seat.
