Kia Sportage: Evaporative Emission Control System / Fuel Filler Cap Description and operation
A ratchet tightening device on the threaded fuel filler cap reduces the chances
of incorrect installation, which seals the fuel filler. After the gasket on
the fuel filler cap and the filler neck flange contact each other, the ratchet
