open gas tank GMC SIERRA 1996 Owners Manual

‘J
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns
violently, and that can cause very bad injuries.
Don’t smoke if you’re near gasoline or refueling
your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames and smoking
materials
away from gasoline.
While refueling,
hang the
cap inside the fuel door.
To take off the. cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise).
/i CAUTIP
If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on
you if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any “hiss” noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap
all the way.
