DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.

DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.

Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling.

Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for the laws affecting your area. As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building, away from sparks and flames.

Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added.
