used, - gasoline- is highly flammable and the vapors
are explosive. You can be seriously injured if fuel is
spilled on yourself or your clothes which can
ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes
immediately.

Diesel .

Always place containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before refilling.

inlet to the engine's fuel tank or container at
all times until it is full at recommended fuel tank or
engine manufacturer specifications.
