fuel safety instructions:
Gasoline (fuel) is highly flammable and can
be explosive under certain conditions.

the 'OFF' position.
Do not smoke.
Do not use a mobile telephone.
Make sure the refuelling area is well
ventilated and free from any source of
flame or sparks. This includes
appliance with a pilot light.
Never fill the tank until the fuel level rises
into the filler neck. Heat from sunlight or
other sources may cause the fuel to
expand and overflow creating a fire
hazard.
After refuelling always check that the fuel
filler cap is correctly closed and locked.
Because gasoline (fuel)
flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or any
failure to observe the safety advice given
above will lead to a fire hazard, which
could cause damage to property, injury to
persons or death.
