Main Components; Fuel - APRILIA LEONARDO 125 - 1999 Manual

WARNING
The fuel used for internal combustion
engines is extremely inflammable and
in particular conditions it can become
explosive. It is important to carry out
the refuelling and the maintenance op-
erations in a well-ventilated area, with
the engine off. Do not smoke while refu-
elling or near fuel vapours, in any case
avoid any contact with naked flames,
sparks and any other heat source to
prevent the fuel from catching fire or
from exploding. Further, prevent fuel
from flowing out of the fuel filler, as it
could catch fire when getting in contact
with the red-hot surfaces of the engine.
In case some fuel has accidentally been
spilt, make sure that the area is com-
pletely dry before starting the vehicle.
Since petrol expands under the heat of
the sun and due to the effects of sun ra-
diation, never fill the tank to the brim.
Screw the cap carefully after refuelling.
Avoid any contact of the fuel with the
skin and the inhalation of vapours; do
not swallow fuel or pour it from a recep-
tacle into another by means of a tube.
