# INFORMATION ON FUEL TANK FILLER CAP TETHER

#### SUBJECT: INFORMATION ON FUEL TANK FILLER CAP TETHER STRAP DELETED

#### MODELS: 1997-98 CADILLAC CATERA

THE TETHER STRAP ON THE FUEL TANK FILLER CAP WAS DELETED IN PRODUCTION LATE IN THE 1997 MODEL YEAR. NO CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE CAP OTHER THAN THE DELETION OF THE TETHER STRAP. SERVICE STOCK IS OF THE NEW TYPE WITHOUT THE TETHER. IF A CUSTOMER RETURNS FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THE TETHER STRAP IS BROKEN, THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE STRAP SHOULD BE TRIMMED OFF AND THE ORIGINAL CAP REINSTALLED. WHILE REFUELING, THE CAP CAN BE HUNG ON THE INSIDE OF THE FUEL DOOR AS SHOWN IN THE CATERA OWNER'S MANUAL.
