gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can
burn you and others and can damage property.
•
Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
•
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck or trailer bed, because interior carpets or
plastic truck-bed liners may insulate the container
and slow the loss of any static charge.
•
When practical, remove fuel-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer, and fuel the equipment
with the wheels on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or
trailer from a portable container rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
•
If you must use a fuel-dispenser nozzle, keep
the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete.
Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term
exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and
illness.
•
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
•
Keep your face away from the nozzle and the fuel
tank or conditioner opening.
•
Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.
