When fueling your vehicle:
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Carefully turn the filler cap
counterclockwise 1/8 of a turn until
it stops.
3. Pull to remove the cap from the
fuel filler pipe.
4. To install the cap, align the tabs
on the cap with the notches on the
filler pipe.
5. Turn the filler cap clockwise 1/8
of a turn until it stops.
If the "check engine" indicator
comes on and stays on when you
start the engine, the fuel filler cap
may not be properly installed. Turn
off the engine, remove the fuel filler
cap and reinstall it being careful to
align the cap properly.
If you must replace the fuel
filler cap, replace it with an
authorized Motorcraft part.
The customer warranty may be
void for any damage to the fuel
tank or fuel system if an
authorized Motorcraft fuel
filler cap is not used.
The fuel system may be
under pressure. If the fuel
filler cap is venting vapor or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until it
stops before completely removing
the fuel filler cap. Otherwise fuel
may spray out and injure you or
others.
