Fuel Safety
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Use extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
Refuel with the engine stopped. Refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Never fill a fuel container while it's on the vehicle. Static electricity between
the rack and container could cause a spark.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refu-
eling is performed or where gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.
If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap
and water and change clothing.
Turn the fuel valve off whenever the vehicle is stored or parked.
