  of   fuel   must   be   of   at   least   7   litres,   in

  key   cannot   be   removed   from   the  
l

ock   until   the   cap   is   refitted.
Opening
  the   filler   cap   may   create   a  
n

oise   caused   by   an   inrush   of   air.   This  
v

acuum   is   entirely   normal,   resulting

ocated   on   the   inside   of   the   flap,
