Fuel Cap - Alfa Romeo 147 Owner's Manual

FUEL CAP (fig. 176)
The fuel cap (A) is key-lockable and has a
catch to prevent misplacing it (B) that fas-
tens it to the flap (C); to gain access to it,
open the flap then use the ignition key to turn
counter-clocwise and remove the cap.
When refuelling, hook the cap to the device
on the inner flap, as illustrated.
IMPORTANT The sealing of the tank
may cause light pressurising. A little breath-
ing off, while slackening the cap, is ab-
solutely normal.
After refuelling, turn the cap clockwise un-
til one or more clicks are heard; then turn
the key clockwise to lock. Close the flap.
IMPORTANT For your safety, before
starting the engine, also make sure that the
fuel nozzle is correctly inserted in the fuel
distributor.

WARNING
Do not go near the fuel
filler with naked flames or
lit cigarettes: danger of fire. Avoid
going too near the fuel filler with
your face, to avoid inhaling harm-
ful vapours.
In the case of need, only
replace the cap with an-
other genuine one, or the
efficiency of the fuel vapour re-
covery system could be adversely
affected.
