Fuel and Refueling 199 Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when filling an ungrounded fuel container: • Place approved fuel container on the ground. • DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the cargo area). • Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while filling. • DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill position. Easy Fuel® No Cap Fuel System WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel filler door, do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious personal injury. When fueling your vehicle: 1. Turn the engine off. 2. To open the fuel filler door, press the center of the rear edge and then release. 3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into the fuel system, and leave the nozzle fully inserted to open the door until you are done pumping. Hold handle higher during insertion for easier access. 2015 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, September 2014 USA (fus)
