Refueling
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause bad injuries.
To help avoid injuries to you and others:
•
Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island;
•
Turn off your engine when you are refueling;
•
Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle;
•
Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel;
•
Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended
when refueling you vehicle — this is against the law in some places;
•
Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children pump fuel
Use the following guidelines to avoid static build-up when filling an
ungrounded fuel container:
•
Place approved fuel container on the ground.
•
DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the
cargo area).
•
Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while
filling.
•
DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill
position.
