Honda CR-V: Refueling / How to Refuel
Your fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel filler cap. You can insert the
filler nozzle
directly into the filler neck. The tank seals itself again when you pull out the
filler
nozzle.
- Stop your vehicle with the service station
pump on the left side of the vehicle in the
rear.
- Turn off the engine.
- Pull on the fuel fill door release handle
under the lower left corner of the
dashboard.
- The fuel fill door opens.

- Place the end of the filler nozzle on the
lower part of filler opening, then insert it
slowly and fully.
- Make sure that the end of the filler
nozzle goes down along with the filler
pipe.
- Keep the filler nozzle level.
- When the tank is full, the filler nozzle will
click off automatically.
- After filling, wait about five seconds
before removing the filler nozzle.
- Shut the fuel fill door by hand.

WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured
when handling fuel.
- Stop the engine, and keep heat, sparks,
and flame away.
- Handle fuel only outdoors.
- Wipe up spills immediately.
The fuel filler opening is designed to accept only
service station filler nozzles for refueling. Use of
smaller diameter tubes (e.g., those used to siphon
fuel for other uses) or other non-service station
devices can damage the area in and around the filler
opening.
The filler nozzle automatically stops to leave space in
the fuel tank so that fuel does not overflow as a result
of changes in air temperature.
Do not continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has
automatically stopped. Additional fuel can exceed
the full tank capacity.
If the filler nozzle keeps turning off when the tank is
not full, there may be a problem with the pump's fuel
vapor recovery system. Try filling at another pump. If
this does not fix the problem, consult a dealer.
If you have to refuel your vehicle from a portable
container, use the funnel provided with your vehicle.
