Safety Information Relating to
Automotive Fuels
WARNING
Automotive fuels can cause serious
injury or death if misused or
mishandled.
Turn vehicle off when refueling.
Do not smoke when refueling. Fuels are
extremely flammable.
Do not siphon any fuel by mouth.
WARNING
Gasoline or gasoline blended with
methanol can cause blindness and
possible death when swallowed. If any
fuel is swallowed, call a physician or
poison control center immediately.
Avoid breathing vapors while refueling.
If fuel is splashed on the skin, wash with soap
and water.
If fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove contact
lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15
minutes, and seek medical attention.
Gasoline and gasoline blends may contain small
amounts of carcinogens, such as benzene. Long-term
exposure to unleaded gasoline vapors has caused
cancer in laboratory animals.
If you are taking the medication "Antabuse" or
other forms of disulfiram for the treatment of
alcoholism, vapor or skin contact with a
gasoline-methanol blend, may cause the same kind
of adverse reaction as drinking an alcoholic
beverage. In sensitive individuals, serious personal
injury or sickness could result. Consult a physician
promptly if you experience an adverse reaction.
