Refuelling

Care must b e tak en when dealing w ith
fuel.
Before refuelling it is absolutely vital to
switch off the engine and any heating
system s with combustion chambers.
Fuel is inflamma ble and exp losive,
therefore a void dealing with fuel near
nak ed flam es and doing a ny thing that
would genera te sparks. N o sm ok ing!
This also applies where the sm ell of fuel
is noticea ble. If the smell of fuel vapour
occ urs in the vehicle itself, have the
cause remedied immediately . We
recommend that you consult y our
Vauxhall Approved Repairer.
The fuel tank filler neck with b ayonet cap is
loca ted on the right-hand side of the
vehicle.
To unlock filler cap: insert k ey and turn
anti-clock wise.
The fuel tank has a limiting sy stem which
prevents ov erfilling of the tank.
Correct refuelling is largely dependent on
correct opera tion of the disp ensing p um p:
z Position dispensing pump nozzle at an
angle to ensure that the pump handle
does not contact the bodywork. Ensure
this position is maintained when
refuelling.
z Insert nozzle as far as it will go a nd
switch on.
z After the first automatic c ut-off, do not
fill the tank any further.
Replace the filler cap a nd turn k ey
cloc kwise as far as it will go.
Wipe off any overflowing fuel im media tely.
