Pressure-Vacuum Filler Cap

PRESSURE-VACUUM FILLER CAP
The loss of any fuel or vapor out of the filler tube neck is prevented by the use of a safety filler cap. The cap releases only under significant pressure 10.9 to 13.45 kPa (1.58 to 1.95 psi). The vacuum release for all gas caps is between 0.97 and 2.0 kPa (0.14 and 0.29 psi). The cap must be replaced by a similar unit in order for the system to remain effective.

WARNING: REMOVE FUEL FILLER TUBE CAP TO RELIEVE TANK PRESSURE BEFORE REMOVING OR REPAIRING FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
