BEFORE AND DURING FUELING
•
OPW recommends posting the following warnings in a
visible location for the fueling public. Additional warnings
may be required. Please contact authorities having local
jurisdiction for requirements.
WARNING
Static electricity, fire hazard, and chemical
exposure hazard. Failure to comply to the
following warning could result in property
damage, injury or death.
•
Turn off your engine before refueling. Vehicle must
remain off during the entire fueling procedure.
•
Discharge your static electricity before refueling.
•
Before using the dispenser, touch any grounded metal
on the car or dispenser away from the nozzle and your
vehicle’s fuel pipe with bare hands. This will discharge
static electricity on your body. Failure to discharge may
ignite petrol vapours.
•
DO NOT re-enter your vehicle while refueling. This can
re-charge your body with static electricity. If you must re-
enter your vehicle, discharge static again before
touching the nozzle.
•
DO NOT fill containers in or on the vehicle. Static
electricity can ignite petrol vapours and cause a fire. Fill
approved portable containers on the ground. It is
dangerous to put petrol into an unapproved container.
•
Keep nozzle in contact with the container until finished
filling to discharge any static generated during fueling.
•
When filling an approved portable
container, flow fuel at low flow rate to
prevent static build-up. DO NOT put
trigger in rack position; manually hold
open.
•
Turn off cell phones and other
electronic devices to avoid
distractions.
•
DO NOT smoke or allow open
flame/sparking devices near the
product dispensers.
•
Extinguish all pilot lights and open
flames. For example, the pilot light in
a motorhome or caravan must be
extinguished.
•
If a fire starts,
DO NOT REMOVE
THE NOZZLE FROM THE FILL
PIPE
. Back away immediately and tell the attendant. If
no attendant is on site, use the emergency shut-off
button to stop the pump.
•
DO NOT start engine during refueling. Vehicle must
remain off during the entire fueling procedure.
•
DO NOT leave nozzle unattended. Nozzle performance
and the automatic shut-off feature are influenced by
many factors. If nozzle does not shut off during refueling,
stop pump immediately.
•
DO NOT use foreign objects to hold open automatic
nozzles. Use of foreign objects could result in failure to
shut off.
•
Fuels can be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors has caused cancer in laboratory
animals.
o
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
o
Keep away from eyes and skin.
o
Failure to use caution may cause serious injury,
illness or death.
•
