16.1 REFUELING YOUR TRUCK
16.1.1 Refueling
CAUTION
•
Any open flame is strictly forbidden at refueling stations. The fuel is flammable and can ig
nite and explode. Turn off the engine, remove the key and turn off the headlights when re
fueling. Do not smoke.
•
Mistakes in fuel handling can cause serious accidents. Open the fuel cap slowly. Do not
open the fuel cap suddenly, as fuel may spray out of the filling port. Always mop up any
fuel spill.
▪ Refuel only in a safe, wellventilated
place, equipped with appropriate fire
extinguishing equipment.
▪ Always retighten the fuel cap after
refueling. Make sure the cap on the
fuel tank is closed tightly so that no
dust, dirt, rain or snow can enter.
▪ In cold climates, always fill the tank
up to the top. This minimizes the air
within the tank, thus reduces pos
sible freezing from moisture con
densation, rust in the fuel system
and hard starting.
