FUEL WARNING
GASOLINE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE
AND IN SOME CONDITIONS CAN BECOME
EXPLOSIVE. THEREFORE, IT IS NECES-
SARY TO REFUEL AND CARRY OUT MAIN-
TENANCE OPERATIONS INVOLVING THE
FUEL SYSTEM IN A WELL VENTILATED
AREA WITH THE ENGINE OFF.
DO NOT REFUEL OR PERFORM ANY MAIN-
TENANCE ON THE FUEL SYSTEM WITH
THE ENGINE RUNNING.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE REFUELING OR
NEAR FUEL VAPORS. NEVER ALLOW ANY
PORTION
OF THE FUEL SYSTEM TO COME IN CON-
TACT WITH OPEN FLAMES, SPARKS
AND/OR OTHER
HEAT SOURCES. BE CAREFUL TO AVOID
SPILLING FUEL WHEN YOU ARE REFUE-
LING. SPILLED FUEL COULD IGNITE WHEN
IT CONTACTS HOT ENGINE OR EXHAUST
SYSTEM SURFACES. IF YOU ACCIDEN-
TALLY 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 in the open sun, never fill
the tank completely to the brim. Leave at least
one inch of expansion space.
Avoid any contact of the fuel with your skin, and
avoid inhalation of fuel vapors. Do not ever
attempt to siphon fuel from one container to
another using your mouth as suction for a sip-
hon hose. Use a manual pump or a similar sys-
tem.
