Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns
violently, and that can cause very bad injuries.
Don't smoke if you're near gasoline or refueling
your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames and smoking
materials away from gasoline.
While refueling, hang the cap by the tether fro111 the
hook on the filler door.
To remove the cap, turn
it
slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The. cap has a spring in it; if you let
,oo of the cap too soon, it will spring back to the right.
If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites
it,
you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your tank is nearly full, and is more likely
in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any ''hiss'' noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline
from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See "Cleaning the
Outside of Your Vehicle" in the Index.
