Fuel

Make sure there is sufficient gasoline
in the tank.
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid
fires and explosions and to reduce
the risk of injury when refueling,
follow these instructions.
1.
Before refueling, turn off the
engine and be sure that no one is
sitting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the
vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.
