Handling Gasoline
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
Always turn off the engine when refueling.
Always refuel outdoors or in a well ventilated area free of any source of flame or sparks.
Always use an approved gasoline container to store fuel and remove the container from the vehicle
before filling to avoid fuel ignition due to electrical static discharge.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refueling 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.
