Filling The Fuel Tank - Mitsubishi MOTORS Colt 2007 Owner's Manual

Filling the fuel tank

WARNING
!
● Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned or seriously injured when handling
it. When refueling your vehicle, always turn off the
engine and keep away from flames, sparks, and
smoking materials. Always handle fuel in well-venti-
lated outdoor areas.
● Before removing the fuel cap, get rid of your body's
static electricity by touching a metal part on either
the car or the fuel pump. Any static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapor.
● Perform the whole refueling process (opening the
fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by
yourself. Do not let any other person come near the
fuel tank filler. If you allow another person to help
you and that person is carrying static electricity, fuel
vapor could be ignited.
● Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until
refueling is finished. If you move away and do some-
thing else (for example, clean your windscreen) dur-
ing the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh
charge of static electricity.
● Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains
toxic substances.
● Keep doors and windows closed while refueling the
vehicle. If they are open, fuel vapor could get into
the cabin.
