Do not smoke while refueling or near
fuel vapors.
Never allow any portion of the fuel
system to come in contact with open

Be careful to avoid spilling fuel when
you are refueling. Spilled fuel can ignite
when it contacts hot engine or exhaust
system surfaces. If you accidentally
spill some fuel, make sure that it is
wiped up or completely evaporated
before starting the vehicle.
Since gasoline expands in the fuel tank
when the vehicle is sitting out in the

Avoid any contact of the fuel with your
skin, and avoid inhalation of fuel
vapors. Never attempt to siphon fuel
from one container to another using
your mouth as suction for a siphon
hose.
