If you replace your fuel
cap with an aftermarket

fuel filler cap, the customer
warranty may be void if any
damage to the fuel tank and/or
fuel system occurs.

If the fuel cap is venting
vapor or you hear a hissing

sound, wait until it stops before
completely removing the cap.

Automotive fuels can
cause serious injury or

death if misused or mishandled.

Extinguish all smoking materials
and any open flames before fueling
your vehicle.

Automotive fuels can be harmful or
fatal if swallowed. If fuel is
swallowed call a physician
immediately, even if no symptoms
are apparent. The toxic effects of
fuels may not be visible for many
hours.

Fuels can also be harmful if
absorbed through the skin. If fuel
is splashed on the skin, promptly
remove contaminated clothing and
wash skin thoroughly with soap
and water.

If fuel is splashed in the eyes,
remove contact lenses, flush with
plenty of water for 15 minutes, and
seek medical attention.

Be particularly careful if you are
taking “Antabuse” or other forms
