DANGER

DO NOT service any part of the fuel system while smoking or in the presence of flames,
sparks or hot surfaces. Failure to follow these precautions can result in fire, which can
cause serious injury or death.

WARNING

DO NOT store fuel containers in the vehicle. They may leak, explode and cause or feed a
fire. Empty or full, they present a hazard that may lead to burns in the event of a fire.
