It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh when the cap is
opened. When installing the cap, turn the cap clockwise until
you hear a click.
CAUTION:

When opening the cap, do not remove the cap quickly.
In hot weather, fuel under pressure could cause injury
by spraying out of the filler neck if the cap is suddenly
removed.

Make sure the cap is tightened securely to prevent fuel
spillage in case of an accident.

replacement. It has a built-in check valve.

This is used in case the fuel filler door cannot be opened due
to a discharged battery or other trouble.
