Fuel and refuelling
Filling up
WARNINGS
It is important that the fuel tank
is not filled beyond its designed
level by trickle feeding after the first click
of an automatic filler gun (when fully
inserted). If no space is allowed for fuel
expansion, spillage may occur during
fuelling, or fuel emission system may not
operate correctly.
The flow of petrol through a
pump nozzle can produce static
electricity, which can cause a fire if petrol
is pumped into an ungrounded fuel
container. To avoid static build up:
Place the approved fuel container •
on the ground.
Do not fill the container whilst in the •
vehicle or utility tray.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the
•
fuel container whilst filling.
