Dispense gasoline only into approved
containers.

Do not fill a container while it is inside a
vehicle, in a vehicle’s trunk, pickup bed or on
any surface other than the ground.

Bring the fill nozzle in contact with the inside
of the fill opening before operating the nozzle.
Contact should be maintained until the filling is
complete.
