Jeep 12MK74-126-AA Automobile User Manual


 
CAUTION!
Damage to the fuel system or emission control
system could result from using an improper fuel
tank filler cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could
let impurities into the fuel system.
A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the “Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL)” to turn on.
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or near
the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the
tank is being filled.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is
in violation of most state and Federal fire regula-
tions and may cause the MIL to turn on.
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place gas containers on
the ground while filling.
NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel
tank is full.
Tighten the gas cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one
click. This is an indication that cap is properly tight-
ened.
If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the MIL will
come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time
the vehicle is refueled.
