CAUTION:

Never fill a portable fuel container while it is in
your vehicle. Static electricity discharge from

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.
