DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved container.

♦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 gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its 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 a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
