FUEL SYSTEM AND AIR INTAKE

Fuel System Safety

Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
Always stop the engine and refuel outdoors or in
a well ventilated area.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in
or near the area where refueling is performed or
where gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the tank.
Fill the tank to the bottom of the filler neck.
This will allow for thermal expansion.
If you get gasoline in your eyes or swallow
gasoline, see your doctor immediately.
If you spill gasoline on your skin or clothing,
immediately wash it off with soap and water
and change clothing.
Never start the engine or run it in an enclosed
area. Gasoline powered engine exhaust
fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of
consciousness and death in a short time.
