symptoms are apparent. The
toxic effects of fuels may not be
evident for many hours.
Fuels can also be harmful if
absorbed through the skin. If
fuel is splashed on the skin,
promptly remove contaminated
clothing and wash skin
thoroughly with soap and water.
If fuel is splashed in the eyes,
remove contact lenses, flush
eyes with water for fifteen
minutes, and seek immediate
medical attention.
Be particularly careful if you are
taking Antabuse or other forms
of disulfiram for the treatment
of alcoholism. Breathing gasoline
vapors or skin contact with fuel
could cause an adverse reaction.
Consult a physician immediately.
If you replace your fuel cap with
an aftermarket fuel filter cap, the
customer warranty may be void if
any damage to the fuel tank and/or
fuel system occurs.
Do not overfill the fuel
tank. The pressure in an
overfilled tank may cause
leakage and lead to fuel spray
and fire.
If you do not use a proper
fuel cap, the pressure in
the fuel tank can damage the
fuel system or cause it to work
improperly in a collision.
