Pour in the fuel slowly and carefully. In
order to prevent the fuel from overflowing,
filling should be performed in several
stages.
Remove the funnel between the individual
filling operations in order to visually check
the filling level in the tank.
The more fuel has already been filled into
the tank, the smaller the filling quantities
should be for each filling operation. To give
the fuel room to expand, never fill the fuel
tank past the lower edge of the filler neck.
