WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Spilled gasoline and it’s vapors can be-
come ignited from cigarette sparks,
electrical arcing, exhaust gases, and hot
engine components such as the muffler.
• Shut off engine and allow it to cool before
adding fuel to the tank.
• Use care in filling tank to avoid spilling fuel.
