o Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel-
ing, please note the following
guidelines carefully. Failure to
follow these guidelines may re-
sult in severe personal injury, se-
vere burns or death by fire or
explosion.
- Before refueling always note the
location of the Emergency Gaso-
line Shut-Off, if available, at the
gas station facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle
or fuel filler cap, you should
eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by
touching another metal part of
the front of the vehicle, a safe
distance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas
source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.
Do not touch, rub or slide against
any item or fabric (polyester,
satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro-
ducing static electricity. Static
electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors resulting in explo-
sion.
If you must re-enter the vehicle,
you should once again elimi-
nate potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline source.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity dis-
charge from the container can
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, con-
tact with the vehicle should be
maintained until the filling is
complete. Use only portable fuel
containers designed to carry and
store gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones
around a gas station or while
refueling any vehicle. Electric
current and/or electronic inter-
ference from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. If you must use
your cellular phone use it in a
place away from the gas station.
- When refueling always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel va-
pors causing a fire. Always in-
sure that the engine is OFF be-
fore and during refueling. Once
refueling is complete, check to
make sure the fuel filler cap and
door are securely closed, before
starting the engine.
- Do not light any fire around a
gas station. DO NOT use matches
or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE
or leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station
especially during refueling.
Automotive fuel is highly flam-
mable and can, when ignited,
result in explosion by flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refuel-
ing, leave the vicinity of the ve-
hicle, and immediately contact
the manager of the gas station
or contact the police and local
fire department. Follow any
safety instructions they provide.
