Group 20 General instructions Stop the engine before carrying out operations All fuels, and many chemicals, are flammable. on the engine cooling system. Do not allow naked flame or sparks in the vicini- ty. Certain thinners and hydrogen from batteries can be extremely flammable and explosive when mixed with air in the right proportions.
