ignite when in contact with hot engine parts.
In the event of accidental fuel spillage, make sure the
affected area is fully dry before starting the engine.
Fuel expands from heat and when left under direct
sunlight. Never fill the fuel tank up to the rim.
Tighten the filler cap securely after each refuelling.
