Fuel - APRILIA RALLY 50 - 2000 Manual

a
The fuel used for internal combustion en-
gines is extremely inflammable and in
particular conditions it can become ex-
plosive.
It is important to carry out the refuelling and the
maintenance operations in a well-ventilated area,
with the engine off.
Do not smoke while refuelling or near fuel va-
pours, in any case avoid any contact with naked
flames, sparks and any other heat source to pre-
vent 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 con-
tact with the red-hot surfaces of the engine.
In case some fuel has accidentally been spilt,
make sure that the area has completely dried and
before starting the vehicle verify that there is no
fuel inside the fuel filler neck.
Since petrol expands under the heat of the sun
and due to the effects of sun radiation, never fill
the tank to the brim.
Screw the plug (1) up 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 receptacle into another by means
of a tube.
