I 1 CAUTIOT’ 
If you  get  gasoline  on  yourself  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 
the  cap  all  the  way. 
Be  careful  not  to  spill  gasoline. Clean  gasoline  from 
painted  surfaces  as soon  as possible.  See “Cleaning  the 
Outside  of  Your  Oldsmobile”  in  the  Index.  When  you  put  the 
cap back  on, 
turn it to  the  right  until 
you  hear  at  least  three  clicks. Make sure you  fully  install 
the  cap.  The  diagnostic  system  can  determine  if the  fuel 
cap  has  been  left  off  or  improperly  installed.  This  would 
allow  fuel to  evaporate  into  the  atmosphere.  See 
“Malfunction  Indicator  Lamp”  in  the  Index. 
NOTICE: 
If you  need  a  new cap,  be  sure  to  get the  right 
type. Your  retailer  can  get  one  for  you. If you  get 
the  wrong  type,  it  may  not  fit 
or have  proper 
venting,  and  your  fuel tank  and  emissions  system 
might  be damaged.
