an irritant.

FIRE HAZARD: Fuel leakage from any part of the fuel system can be a fire hazard
which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
Be careful when working on fuel system components; diesel fuel is flammable.
Ensure that the ignition key is OFF. Do NOT smoke or allow sources of open flame
in the area while changing fuel system components. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately. Do NOT allow fuel to come into contact with any hot surface which
may cause it to ignite.
Dispose of fuel-soaked rags, paper, etc., in an appropriate airtight, fire-retardant
container. Fuel-soaked items may spontaneously ignite and result in a fire hazard
which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
6. Close fuel shut off valve, if equipped.
