Petrol is highly flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing any source of
ignition or naked flame near fuel, this includes tools which can cause
sparks such as grinders and drills. Before re-fueling make sure the
engine has been stopped and allowed to cool down. Choose an
outdoor area at least 10m from fuel storage point.
