Fuel Cap - Alfa Romeo GT Owner's Manual

FUEL CAP

The fuel cap (C-fig. 154) is electrically
controlled. To open it, press button (D-fig.
155); the flap can be opened only when
the engine is off.
The fuel cap (A-fig. 154), accessible af-
ter opening the lid (C), is fitted with a catch
to prevent losing it (B) which fastens it to
the lid.
When refuelling, hook the cap to the de-
vice on the inner flap, as illustrated.

IMPORTANT The sealing of the tank
may cause light pressurising in the tank. A
little breathing off, while slackening the cap,
is absolutely normal.
After refuelling, turn the cap clockwise and
close the flap.
IMPORTANT For your safety, make sure
that the fuelling pump nozzle is inserted cor-
rectly into the housing, before starting the
engine.
Do not put naked flames
or lighted cigarettes near
the fuel filler hole as there
is a danger of fire. Do not bend too
close to the hole either so as not to
breathe in harmful vapours.

If required, replace the fu-
el cap only with a genuine
new one to prevent im-
pairing the petrol vapour system.
Should it be not possible to open the fuel
flap electrically, use the special cable in the
boot (A-fig. 156) to open it manually.
