required to meet EPA and/or CARB regulations, that
will only function properly when the fuel tank has
been filled to the recommended level. Overfilling

emissions control system
components.
Filling to the
recommended level ensures a vapor gap required to
allow for fuel expansion. Pay close attention while
filling the fuel tank to ensure that the recommended
fuel level inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a
portable gasoline container with an appropriately
sized dispensing spout when filling the tank. D o not
use a funnel or other device that obstructs the view
of the tank filling process.
3. Reinstall the fuel cap and tighten. Always clean up spilled fuel.
