Filling a Portable Fuel Container

CAUTION:
{
Never fill a portable fuel container while it is in
your vehicle. Static electricity discharge from
the container can ignite the fuel vapor. You
can be badly burned and your vehicle damaged
if this occurs. To help avoid injury to you and
others:
•
Dispense fuel only into approved
containers.
•
Do not fill a container while it is inside a
vehicle, in a vehicle's trunk, pickup bed, or
on any surface other than the ground.
•
Bring the fill nozzle in contact with the
inside of the fill opening before operating
the nozzle. Contact should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
•
Do not smoke while pumping fuel.
•
Do not use a cellular phone while
pumping fuel.
