FUEL
Gasoline
is extremely flammable and in some condi-
tions can become explosive. Therefore, it is neces-
sary to refuel and carry out maintenance operations
involving the fuel system in a well-ventilated area with
the engine off.
Do not refuel or do any maintenance on the fuel
system with the engine running.
Do not smoke while refueling or near fuel vapors.
Never allow any portion of the fuel system to come in
contact with naked flames, sparks or other heat
sources. Be careful to avoid spilling fuel when you
are refueling. Spilled fuel could ignite when it con-
tacts hot engine or exhaust system surfaces. If you
accidentally spill some fuel, make sure that it is wiped
up or completely evaporated before starting the
vehicle.
Since gasol
in
e expands in the fuel tank when the
vehicle is sitting in the open sun, never fill the tank
completely to the brim. Leave at least one inch of
expansion space.
Avoid any contact of the fuel with your skin, and
avoid inhalation of fuel vapors. Do not ever attempt to
siphon fuel from one container to another using your
mouth as suction for a siphon hose.
Gasoline is poisonous and carcinogenic and contains
chemical substances that cause birth defects and
other reproductive problems. If gasoline should be
accidentally spilt on the skin or clothes, immediately
wash it off with soap and water and change clothes.
Should you accidentally spill gasoline in your eyes,
flush with a large quantity of water and immediately
contact a health professional. Should you acciden-
tally get gasoline into your mouth, do not induce
vomiting. Drink a large quantity of milk or clear water
and immediately contact a health professional.
Never try to siphon gasoline by sucking it with your
mouth. Use a manual pump or a similar system. If
your vehicle overturns, it will leak gasoline which is
extremely flammable. Flames or sparks may ignite
this which will not only destroy the vehicle but also
could do serious property damage to surrounding
property and cause serious injuries or even death.
ALWAYS KEEP GASOLINE AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DISPOSE OF UNWANTED GASOLINE PROPERLY, DO
NOT DUMP IT INTO STORM SEWERS OR INTO A SINK
OR TOILET.
