Tanzy Clutched September 28, 2004 Share September 28, 2004 Check your fuel cap, B pillar of front door (directly behind driver seat usually) or instruction manual for recommended pressure. I won't be too surprised if it is in the region of 32 psi or 220 kPa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
