Filling Gas Tank
serious
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-venti-
lated area. Never add gasoline to the
gas tank near any open flames or with
the engine running or hot. DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the gas tank.
Since gasoline expands as its temperature
increases, the gas tank must be filled to
its rated capacity only. Expansion room
must be maintained in the tank particu-
larly if the tank is filled with cold gaso-
line and then moved to a warm area.
Allow the engine to cool before filling the
gas tank. Care must be taken not to over-
fill the tank. If overfilled, gas may leak
onto the engine creating a fire hazard.
