Installation Notes

Small engine repair technicians or knowledgeable DIYers typically handle this replacement. Always drain or isolate the fuel supply before removing the existing gas cap to avoid fuel spillage. Inspect the filler neck threads for damage before installing the new cap. Hand-tighten only — do not use tools to force the cap, as over-tightening can strip plastic threads on the filler neck.
