Fuel Tank and Fuel Tank Filler Pipe

All vehicles are equipped with a restricted fuel filler opening which functions as follows:

• An opening in the fuel tank filler pipe (9034) allows only non-leaded fuel nozzles to be inserted. The restrictor is a narrow opening in the filler covered by a spring steel trap door.
• The smaller non-leaded fuel nozzle will fit through the narrow opening and push the trap door aside, allowing normal filling. Leaded fuel nozzles will not fit through the opening.
• A closed trap door causes fuel to back up and the automatic nozzle to shut off.
• The fuel tank filler pipe is manufactured as an assembly and must be serviced by removing and replacing with a new fuel tank filler pipe. Do not modify in any way.
• Fill limiting is accomplished through fill pipe configuration and/or internal vent lines within the fuel tank filler pipe and fuel tank (9002) .
• The fill limiting system is designed to permit an air space when the fuel tank is filled to capacity of approximately 10-12 percent. This space provides for thermal expansion of fuel and necessary for proper functioning on the in-tank vapor vent system.
• The fuel tank holds 58.3 L (15.4 gal).
