Petrol and Oil

Recommended Petrol

Use UNLEADED Regular Petrol suitable for
automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded
regular petrol may be used if unleaded regular is not
available.
IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, petrol
containing methanol, or gasohol containing
more than 10% ethanol because the fuel
system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with
gasoline.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
In certain conditions petrol is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A fire or explosion from petrol can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any
gasoline that spills.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add petrol to the fuel tank until the level is
1/4" to 1/2" (6 mm to 13 mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty space
in the tank allows petrol to expand.
Never smoke when handling petrol, and
stay away from an open flame or where
petrol fumes may be ignited by a spark.
Store petrol in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never
buy more than a 30-day supply of petrol.

POTENTIAL HAZARD
In certain conditions petrol is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A fire or explosion from petrol can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always place petrol containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
Do not fill petrol containers inside a vehicle
or on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may
insulate the container and slow the loss of
any static charge.
When practical, remove petrol–powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on the
ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete.
