Filling with a fuel can1

When filling with a fuel can, use the funnel located under the floor hatch in the cargo area. The funnel is located by the spare wheel or in the well under the floor hatch.

Make sure you insert the funnel's pipe firmly into the filler pipe. The filler pipe has an openable cap and the funnel's pipe must be moved past the cap before filling can begin.
