Fuel Tank & Locking Cap 

The fuel tank fill cap is located at the rear of the 
vehicle just behind the seat. Your vehicle is 
equipped with a locking fuel tank cap that is 
opened with the same key that is used in the 
ignition switch. 
 
To unlock your cap simply insert the ignition key 
into the lock and turn clockwise until the cap 
releases. Lift the cap from the tank and refuel 
your vehicle with unleaded automotive grade 
gasoline of 89 octane or higher. 
 
To replace the cap, align the locator lug on the 
cap with the notch in the tank neck and press the 
cap down until you hear the locking lugs click. 
 

 

 
Every time you refuel your unit, check the rubber 
seal inside the cap for cuts, tears and dirt. Clean 

or replace the seal if it becomes worn or torn. 
The seal must be in good condition to insure 
a proper seal of the cap to the tank to 
prevent fuel spills. DO NOT allow dirt or 
other debris to enter the tank when refueling. 
 
Replace the cap if damaged or if it will not 
seal to the tank. 
 
The fuel tank capacity is 5.5 liters, 1.5 gal. 
 

NEVER REFUEL YOUR VEHICLE when 

the engine is running or with a hot 
exhaust system.

 Wait 30 minutes after 

turning off the unit before refueling. Spilling 
fuel on a HOT engine or exhaust could cause 
a fire. Wipe up any fuel spills before re-
starting. 

Inline Fuel Filter

 

Your vehicle is equipped with an inline fuel 
filter to prevent dirt and debris from entering 
the carburetor and engine. 
 
The filter should be replaced every 10,000 
miles or each year of operation.  
 
Replacement and fuel line inspection should 
be performed by an authorized ETON dealer 
only. 

 
DO NOT

 start or operate the engine if the 

fuel filter or lines are leaking. Leaking fuel 
can cause a fire.
