1993 CADILLAC ELDORADO fuel cap

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage shows about how much fuel is in your tank. It works only
when the ignition is
in the “RUN” position.
Digital Gage
If the fuel level is within approximately one gallon (3.9 liters) of being full
the letter “F” is shown.
If the fuel level
is between 1 and 2 gallons (3.9 and 7.6 liters) from being
empty the letter
“E” is shown. If the fuel supply gets down to
approximatcly 1 gallon (3.9 liter) the ”E” will flash, and the “ FUEL
LEVEL VERY LOW” message will appear
in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). (On the analog
fuel gage, the “FUEL LEVEL VERY
LOW’’ message will
also appear.)
Here are a few concerns some owners have had about the fucl gage. All
these situations are normal and indicate nothing wrong with the fuel
gage.
0 At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads “F”.
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage said. For example,
the gage said “8 Gallons”? but it took morc -- or less -- than the tank’s
remaining capacity
to fill it.
The gage changes when you turn (or stop, or speed up).

A CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on you and then something ignites it, you
could be badly burned. Gasoline can spray out
on you if you
open the fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen if
your tank is nearly full, and
is more likely in hot weather. Open
the fuel filler cap slowly and wait for any “hiss” noise to stop.
Then unscrew tht ap all the

The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the
driver’s door. It tells you the gross weight capacity of your vehicle, called
the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR
for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Don’t carry
more than
185 lbs. (84 kg) in your trunk.
A CAUTION:
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVVVR or the
maximum front and rear GAWRs. If
you do, parts on your
vehicle can break, or it can change the way your vehicle handles.
These could cause
you to lose control. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.
