2021 NISSAN GT-R fuel pump

NOTICE
.If fuel is spilled on the vehicle
body, flush it away with water to
avoid paint damage.
. Insert the cap straight into the
fuel-filler tube, then tighten until
the fuel-filler cap clicks. Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap properly
may cause the
Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate.
If the
light illuminates be-
cause the fuel-filler cap is loose
or missing, tighten or install the
cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
light should turn
off after a few driving trips. If the
light does not turn off after a
few driving trips, it is recom-
mended you have the vehicle
inspected by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
(“Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” page 2-32)
. This vehicle includes a system
that can supply fuel even during
high-G (gravity) turns. The fuel
tank pressure is higher when the
vehicle is hot. If the vehicle is
refueled when the vehicle is hot,
the fuel pump may automatically
shut off before the tank is full.
This does not indicate that there
is a malfunction.

Cool downThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.
Cool down the vehicle to help extend the
life of the vehicle if coolant temperatures
are extremely high. Drive the vehicle at 37
to 50 MPH (60 to 80 km/h), in 5th or 6th
gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to 5 km) and then
stop the engine.Refueling precautions
WARNING
Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly a
fire. The fuel tank is full at the first
automatic shutoff.
To maximize vehicle performance, the
fuel tank is located as low as possible to
lower the vehicle center of gravity. The
tank is also divided into two parts. This
fuel tank design causes higher pressures
inside the tank than other vehicles so fuel
spillage is possible by trying to top off the fuel tank after automatic shutoff.
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the
vehicle is hot, especially if the tank is more
than half full. If the cap is opened when
the vehicle is hot, it may cause fuel spray
and there may be a hissing noise. Open
the cap slowly, releasing the pressure
from the tank gradually. Also, if the
vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is
hot, the fuel pump may automatically
shut off before the tank is full. This does
not indicate that there is a malfunction.
Refuel slowly or refuel after the vehicle
has cooled.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
BEFORE DRIVINGThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.Fluids.
Check the engine, transmission, differ-
ential and under vehicle surfaces for
oil and coolant leaks.
. Check the fluid levels and adjust as
necessary using the specified fluid as
described under the conditions listed
in this section.(
“Recommended
fluids and maintenance interval” page GTR-20) If you do not drive under the
conditions listed, refer to the “9. Main-
tenance and schedules” section of this
manual.

GASOLINE SMELLThe fuel temperature is higher when the
vehicle is hot. This may cause a gasoline
smell from the vehicle. This does not
indicate that there is a malfunction. The
smell will go away when the fuel tem-
perature has cooled.OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
INDICATES HIGHER TEMPERATUREHeat from the engine compartment, ra-
diator and intercoolers can affect the
outside temperature display. The outside
temperature display may indicate a high-
er than actual temperature while driving
or stopped. This is normal.IDLE SPEED IS NOT STEADYThe idle speed may not be steady when
the engine compartment is extremely
hot. This is normal. The engine speed will
be steady when the engine cools down.
In this case, the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) may come on. After a few
driving trips, the MIL should turn off. If the
light remains on after a few driving trips, it
is recommended you have the vehicle
inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.

E-15 fuelE-15 fuel is a mixture of approximately
15% fuel ethanol and 85% unleaded gaso-
line. E-15 can only be used in vehicles
designed to run on E-15 fuel. Do not use E-
15 in your vehicle. U.S. government reg-
ulations require fuel ethanol dispensing
pumps to be identified with small, square,
orange and black label with the common
abbreviation or the appropriate percen-
tage for that region.E-85 fuelE-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately
85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gaso-
line. E-85 can only be used in a Flexible
Fuel Vehicle (FFV). Do not use E-85 fuel in
your vehicle. U.S. government regulations
require fuel ethanol dispensing pumps to
be identified by a small, square, orange
and black label with the common abbre-
viation or the appropriate percentage for
that region.Fuel containing MMTMMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manga-
nese tricarbonyl, is an octane boosting
additive. NISSAN does not recommend
the use of fuel containing MMT. Such fuel
may adversely affect vehicle perfor-
mance, including the emissions controlTechnical and consumer information
