G. FUEL FILLER CAP:

The fuel tank filler neck has a vented Fuel cap. Inside the fuel filler cap is a pressure release valve.This allows

it to vent the fumes in and out from fuel tank if they build up to predetermined levels.The fuel filler cap has O’ring

around the neck. This O’ ring should be inspected for cracks or inflexibility . If the O’ ring become cracked or

inflexible, it should be replaced to keep the environment clean.A ratchet tightening device on the threaded fuel

filler cap reduces the chances of over tightening and incorrect installation. After the ‘O’ ring on fuel filler cap and

the fuel filler neck flange contacts, the ratchet produces a loud clicking sound, indicating the seal has been set.

REMOVAL / INSPECTION:

1. Remove fuel filler cap.

2. Check O ring for even filler neck imprint.

3. Check O ring for any deterioration or any dam-

age. If found damaged replace fuel filler cap.

4. Check vent mechanism by simply applying mouth

air pressure at threaded cap. For any deteriora-

tion or any damage in vent mechanism replace

fuel filler cap.
