Caution! Use gasoline with an octane rating of 95. Using gasoline with a lower octane rating may cause engine failure. Do not smoke or use open flames when refueling your Lada Kalina.

The fuel tank cap is located on the right rear fender of the body under the hinged hatch cover.

1. Turn away (counterclockwise) and remove the gas tank filler cap.
2. Insert the fuel pump nozzle into the filler neck and fill the Lada Kalina with gasoline. If you are filling your Lada Kalina with gasoline from a canister, insert a special funnel into the neck before filling and pour gasoline from the canister.
3. After filling the Lada Kalina with gasoline, tighten the cap clockwise until it clicks. The gas cap is equipped with a torque limiter, so it will spin after it clicks.
4. Close the hatch cover and remove any gasoline spills with a rag.
