fuel spill, wait until the fuel residue has
been completely wiped up and the area surrounding the
engine is dry before starting the engine.
DO NOT
fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or
hot.
DO NOT
overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite
if it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks
from the ignition system. Store fuel in approved
containers, in well-ventilated areas and away from
sparks and flames.
