POTENTIAL HAZARD(S)
(1) Fire or explosion
(2) Overfilling the fuel tank.

(1) Gasoline is extremely flammable. Handling it
inappropriately or near cigarettes, flame, sparks,
welders, or other sources of ignition can result in a
fire or explosion where you can be seriously injured
or killed.
(2) Fuel expands due to heat (e.g., engine, sun) and
may overflow if the tank is overfilled, resulting in a
fire
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

cigarettes, flame, sparks, welders, or other sources
of ignition.
(2) Stop adding fuel when the fuel level reaches the
bottom of the filler neck
