DANGER
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
♦
DO NOT smoke while refueling, and stay away from an open
flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by spark.
♦
Refuel only in a well ventilated area, or refuel outdoors.
♦
Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the
reach of children.
♦
Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of
the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running or when the
engine is hot.
♦
Never fill the fuel tank so that the gasoline level rises above a
level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler neck to allow for
gasoline expansion and prevent fuel spillage.
♦
If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start the engine. Move
away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source
of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
D ANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion
from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property
damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved container.
♦
Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from
your vehicle before filling.
♦
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or
trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners
may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static
charge.
♦
When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the
truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the
ground.
♦
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or
trailer from a portable container, rather than from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
♦
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle
in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at
all times until fueling is complete.
