Draining The Fuel Tank
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•
Drain gasoline from the fuel tank when the
engine is cold. Do this outdoors in an open
area. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
•
Never drain gasoline near an open flame or
where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a
spark.
•
Never smoke a cigarette, cigar or pipe.
