POTENTIAL HAZARD
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
♦
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A static charge can ignite g asoline 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 f illing.
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a
♦
truck or trailer bed because inter ior car pets or plastic
truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow
the loss of any static charge.
When practical, r emove 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 t han
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.
