WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE FUELS

Important safety precautions

Do not overfill the fuel tank.

The pressure in an

overfilled tank may cause leakage

and lead to fuel spray and fire.

If you do not use the proper

fuel cap, the pressure in the

fuel tank can damage the fuel

system or cause it to work

improperly in a collision.

The fuel system may be

under pressure. If the fuel

cap is venting vapor or if you hear

a hissing sound, wait until it stops

before completely removing the

cap.

Automotive fuels can cause

serious injury or death if

misused or mishandled.
