2005 Jeep Wrangler Owner's Manual - Page 228

228 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! • Remove the fuel cap (gas cap) slowly to prevent fuel spray from the filler neck which may cause injury. • The volatility of some gasoline may cause a buildup of pressure in the fuel tank that may increase while you drive. This pressure can result in a spray of gasoline and/or vapors when the cap is removed from a hot vehicle. Removing the cap slowly allows the pressure to vent and prevents fuel spray. • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel cap is removed or the tank filled. • Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is running. WARNING! A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling. Locking Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) - If Equipped • Turn the engine off. • Insert the ignition key into the fuel cap, and turn the key to the right to unlock the fuel cap. Rotate the fuel cap to the left to remove. • To replace the cap, insert it into the filler neck and tighten the cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one click. This is an indication that the cap is properly tightened. • Make sure that the fuel cap tether strap is not caught under the fuel cap.
