•
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle or fuel filler cap, you
should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity
discharge by touching anoth-
er metal part of the front of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
• When using a portable fuel
container be sure to place the
container on the ground prior
to refueling. Static electricity
discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehi-
cle should be maintained until
the filling is complete. Use
only portable fuel containers
designed to carry and store
gasoline.
• When refueling always shut
the engine off. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Always insure that the
engine is OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling
is complete, check to make
sure the fuel filler cap and
door are securely closed,
before starting the engine.
• Do not light any fire around a
gas station. DO NOT use
matches or a lighter and DO
NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cig-
arette in your vehicle while at
a gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can,
when ignited, result in explo-
sion by flames.
