Fuel Handling Precautions

General
The following information provides basic precautions
which must be observed if petrol <gasoline> is to be
handled safely. lt also outlines other areas of risk which
must not be ignored. This information is issued for basic
guidance only and, if in dou bt, appropriate enquiries
should be made of you r local Fire Officer.

Petrol - Gasoline

When petrol <gasoline> evaporates it produces
its own volume in va pour which when diluted with air
becomes a readily ignitable mixture. The vapour is heavier
than air and will always fall to the lowest level. lt can
readily be distributed throughout any indoor environment
by air currents, consequently, even a small spillage of
petrol (gasoline) is potentially very dangerous.
Petrol <gasoline> is highly flammable and can be
explosive under certain cond itions. When o pening the
fuel tank cap always observe all the fol lowing items:
Turn the motorcycle ignition switch O FF.
Do not smoke.
Always have a fire exting uisher containing FOAM, C02,
HALO N or POWDER close at hand when handling or
draining fuel or fuel systems. Fire extinguishers must
also be present in areas where fuel is stored.
Always disconnect the vehicle battery, negative (black>
lead first, before ca rrying out dismantling or draining
work on a fuel system.
Whenever petrol (gasoline) is being handled, drained,
stored or when fuel systems are being dismantled, make
sure the area is well ventilated. All potential forms of
ignition must be extingu ished or removed (this includes
any appliance with a pilot light). Any lead-lamps must
be flame-proof and kept clear of any fuel spillage.
Warning notices must be posted at a safe distance from
the site of the work to warn others that petrol is being
openly hand led. The notice must instruct the reader of
the precautions which must be taken.
Failure to observe any of the above warnings may lead
to a fire hazard which could result in personal injury.
