Fuel - Fantic Caballero 125 series Owner's Manual

FUEL

The fuel used for internal-combustion engines
is:
- highly inflammable and, in certain circum-
stances, may become explosive;
- harmful by inhalation, if swallowed or in
contact with skin, with possible serious con-
sequences;;
- irritating to skin;
- harmful to the soil and aquatic environment,
harmful to flora and fauna.
To be avoided:
- contact with skin;
- inhalation of vapours;
- ingestion;
- release to the environment;
- exposure of the fuel to air.
Do NOT use your mouth to suck up, with a tube
or other means, fuel from the tank. The fuel va-
pours are dangerous.
Under NO circumstances put your face near the
fuel tank filler.
During refuelling and in the vicinity of fuel
vapours:
- do not smoke;
- do not use naked flames, sparks or any other
source of ignition or explosion;
- switch off the engine and the lights.
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting but seek
medical advice immediately (first aid post),
indicating the cause and how the accident oc-
curred.
After contact with skin, wash the affected part
immediately with soap and water, repeating the
operation until completely clean.
In case of contact with eyes or ears, rinse the
affected parts immediately with plenty of water
and seek medical advice immediately (first aid
post), indicating the cause and how the accident
occurred.
After contact with clothes, remove contaminated
articles and wash immediately with plenty of
water and soap. Change the dirty clothes, which
must be washed as soon as possible.
Avoid fuel spilling or overflowing from the tank;
if it comes into contact with overheated engine
parts it could cause a fire.
If fuel is accidentally spilt, clean the affected area
thoroughly, making sure that it is completely dry
before starting the engine.
The fuel must only be used as fuel for internal-
combustion engines and sold only by putting it
directly into the vehicle tank.
An increase in the temperature (also environ-
mental) causes the fuel to increase in volume.
There is an air gap between the "fill level" and
a completely full tank designed to allow the fuel
volume to increase without danger of it leaking
out. At the end of refuelling, always ensure that
the fuel tank cap is well closed.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
DISPOSE OF THE FUEL AT A SPECIAL WASTE
COLLECTION POINT.
