If gasoline is swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If a
gasoline-methanol blend is swallowed, induce vomiting under
the direction of a physician or poison control center.
Gasoline and gasoline-methanol blends may contain small
amounts of carcinogens, such as benzene. Long-term exposure to
unleaded gasoline vapors has caused cancer in laboratory
animals. Excessive inhalation of fuel vapors can cause headache,
dizziness, nausea, poor coordination, and other symptoms which
could interfere with your ability to safely operate your vehicle.
Avoid breathing vapors while refueling. If fuel vapors are
inhaled in excessive quantities, move the victim to fresh air and
seek medical attention.
Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Be
careful not to splash fuel on yourself or your clothing. If fuel is
splashed on the skin, promptly remove contaminated clothing
and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water.
Fuels can cause severe eye irritation and possibly eye damage. If
fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove contact lenses (if worn),
flush with large amounts of water for 15 minutes, and seek
medical attention.
You should be particularly careful if you are taking the
medication "Antabuse" or other forms of disulfiram for the
treatment of alcoholism. There is a possibility that breathing the
vapors of a gasoline-methanol blend, or skin contact with such a
blend, may cause the same kind of adverse reaction as drinking
an alcoholic beverage. In sensitive individuals, serious personal
injury or sickness could result. Consult a physician promptly if
you experience an adverse reaction.
NOTE: Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may
have an adverse effect on modern powertrain
components.
