To protect the fuel cap, Alsvin owners should avoid over-tightening—turn it until a single click is heard, not more. Avoid using high-pressure water jets near the cap area, as they can force water into the sealing ring and weaken the material. Do not fill fuel to the brim, as excess pressure o r overflow may damage the seal. During fuel stops, ensure the cap is placed securely and cleaned of dust before closing. Periodically inspecting the cap and replacing it with an OEM part only is also crucial to avoid issues.
