WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE FUELS

Important safety precautions

WARNING:

Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an

overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire.

WARNING:

The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel

filler cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait

until it stops before completely removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out and injure you or others.

WARNING:

If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap,

excessive vacuum in the fuel tank may damage the fuel system

or cause the fuel cap to disengage in a collision, which may result in
serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death

if misused or mishandled.

WARNING:

Gasoline may contain benzene, which is a

cancer-causing agent.

Observe the following guidelines when handling automotive fuel:

•

Extinguish all smoking materials
and any open flames before
refueling your vehicle.

•

Always turn off the vehicle before
refueling.

•

Automotive fuels can be harmful
or fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as gasoline is highly toxic and if
swallowed can cause death or permanent injury. If fuel is swallowed,
call a physician immediately, even if no symptoms are immediately
apparent. The toxic effects of fuel may not be visible for hours.

•

Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too much fuel vapor of any kind
can lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation. In severe cases,
excessive or prolonged breathing of fuel vapor can cause serious
illness and permanent injury.
