1. Park your car safely: Find a safe, level spot at a gas station, turn off the engine, and engage the parking brake.
2. Open the fuel door: The fuel door release is usually located on the driver's side, either near the driver's seat (often a small lever or button) or on the dashboard (sometimes integrated with other controls). Check your owner's manual if you can't find it.
3. Select your fuel type: Choose the correct grade of gasoline recommended in your owner's manual. The Caprice will likely accept regular unleaded, but check your manual to be sure.
4. Insert the nozzle: Carefully insert the nozzle of the fuel pump into the fuel filler neck. It should fit snugly.
5. Fill the tank: Slowly squeeze the lever on the pump handle to begin fueling. Don't overfill the tank; stop when the automatic shutoff kicks in. Many stations have automatic shut-off to prevent spills.
6. Remove the nozzle: Once the pump stops, remove the nozzle from the filler neck.
7. Close the fuel door: Close the fuel door securely.
8. Pay for your gas: Pay for the gas inside the gas station or at the pump using a credit or debit card.
9. Drive away safely: Ensure you have properly secured the gas cap and drive away carefully.
That's it! If you have any trouble locating the fuel door release or have any other questions, consult your Chevy Caprice owner's manual.
