Safety Information Relating to Automotive Fuels
Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if
misused or mishandled.
Turn vehicle off when refueling
Do not smoke when refueling. Fuels are extremely
flammable.
Do not siphon any fuel by mouth.
Gasoline or gasoline blended with methanol can cause
blindness and possible death when swallowed. If any
fuel is swallowed, call a physician or poison control
center immediately.
Avoid breathing vapors while refueling.
If fuel is splashed on the skin, wash with soap and water.
If fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove contact lenses (if
worn), flush with water for 15 minutes, and seek medical
attention.
Gasoline and gasoline blends may contain small amounts of
carcinogens, such as benzene. Long-term exposure to unleaded
gasoline vapors has caused cancer in laboratory animals.
If you are taking the medication "Antabuse" or other forms of
disulfiram for the treatment of alcoholism, vapor or skin contact
with a gasoline-methanol blend may cause the same kind of
adverse reaction as drinking an alcoholic beverage. In sensitive
individuals, serious personal injury or sickness could result.
Consult a physician promptly if you experience an adverse
reaction.
